Hey Mises Community,

Since you guys were so helpful on my last post I thought I would start here. In my Marxian Political Economy course we are starting to delve into his labor theory of value more fully. The professor asked if we had any questions or saw any problems with this analysis and of course I mentioned methodological subjectivism as the answer. The Professor took seriously this critique and asked the class to dwell on it until the next class. A few kids from the class came and asked me to provide them with an article explaining the Austrian perspective of value. I know of passages from several major Austrian works like Human Action and several others but I was wondering if anyone here knew of any good intro articles to this theory of value for a reader unfamiliar to the Austrian view. 

Thanks
