David Ricardo was opposed to the adding-up theory of value, since, in his theory, an increase, for example, in wages implies an equivalent decrease in profits which leads to changes in relative prices without necessarily affecting the general price level. 5 For a formal statement of the labour-commanded theory of value, see the Appendix to this chapter. 6 The term is attributed to Sraffa (1951, pp. xxxv) see also Dobb (1973, p.
