| | | The article discusses the reasons of the contemporary economic crisis against the relation between production and consumption. The authors argue that the concepts of consumer value, its incompatibility with the development of value at large, and disproportions between production and consumption are insufficiently taken into account in the analysis of contemporary economics and of its present-day crisis in particular. The opposition of labor that creates consumer value and labor that is expressed in the value constitutes not only the ontological contradiction of the commodity, but of the capitalist commodity-and-money economics as a whole | | Key words: crisis, consumption, consumption power, production, measure of labor, measure of consumption | |
