Economic Manuscripts Value Price and Profit Reflection Paper

For each reflection, you are required to pick a text from the preceding weeks and write a critical response to it. You could also pick two texts and compare them to reach a critical point. Your reflection should be between 600 and 900 words long. In each reflection, you should seek to do three things:

a. Summarize a key theme or central point made in one of the readings from the preceding week. What is the author claiming? How is this claim argued for or justified?

b. Connect this theme or point to the broader concerns of the class as a whole. How does this claim relate to the question of ethics, political economy, nature of work or capitalism? How does it relate to other approaches or claims made by other authors we have encountered?

c. Critically respond to this point by evaluating the arguments made in its justification, questioning its stated or implicit premises or presuppositions, elaborating the strengths and weaknesses of the conceptual framework it establishes or relies on, etc.
