The Theorem of Comparative Costs

If it were true that the economists had in their subconsciousness no design other than that of justifying the unfair claims of the capitalists, their theories could nevertheless be quite correct. There is no means to expose a faulty theory other than to refute it by discursive reasoning and to substitute a better theory for it. No matter whether such ideological doctrines are the product of a false consciousness, forcing a man to think unwittingly in a manner that serves the interests of his class, they must encounter the ideologies of other classes and try to supplant them. Then a rivalry between antagonistic ideologies emerges. The marxians explain victory and defeat in such conflicts as an outcome of the interference of historical providence. Ge
