I know this article reeks of original research. Here is what I did: there is no entry for the objective theory of value, as presented by Von Mises and Rand. So I started one. I consider this article to be a framework for further enhancement. It presents a concise sumary of the theory. I think what should be done is expand the article by including references to the work of others, without loosing the outline of the article, as I think it would otherwise loose its clarity. Instead of expanding here, sections could have links to subsections elsewhere. Philosophical subjects can be quite dense to the untrained reader, and no value will be added by turning the article into a lengthy academic paper. -- [[User:Dullfig|Dullfig]] 20:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

:I think the article might be misnamed. I always thought that "objective theory of value" was just another name for an intrinsic theory of value. Further, it is my understanding that Von Mises was a marginalist, and, as such, supported the subjective theory of value. Perhaps the contents of this page should be merged into the [[Objectivist philosophy]] article, and the page itself should be made a redirect to [[intrinsic theory of value]]. -- [[User:Nikodemos|Nikodemos]] 23:26, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 
:By the way, a [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22objective+theory+of+value%22&btnG=Search Google search on 'objective theory of value'] gives far more pages referring to classical and Marxist views than pages referring to Ayn Rand. How about we call Ayn Rand's theory the Objectiv'''ist''' theory of value, to avoid confusion? -- [[User:Nikodemos|Nikodemos]] 23:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
