@nntaleb recognized that Marx was original:
"The 4 most influential moderns: Darwin, Marx, Freud, and Einstein were scholars, not academics. It has always been hard to do genuine work within institutions."
But remember not all original thinkers are correct or good.
But on the other hand the Bible seems to believe value is a social phenomena. This is found in the abundance mentality of Christ and his disciples. There are no limits on love, food is multiplied miraculously, and all talents and even salvation is a gift.

This over against there being no room in the inn, giving unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and it being expedient that one man should die so that the nation might live.

It seems to me that many of the labor value arguments come out of a place of “protecting labor”, and I think this is mistake because it simultaneously seems to commodify labor even more. A human being is far more valuable than the work he is able to produce for markets.
-
"Protecting labor" is not my main subject, rather "unemployment". Money escaping from industrial economy is unemployment, unused purchasing power, unused work mob-ilization. And a need of our time is to make finance help fighting against climate change, to mobilize work for that.
-
This view requires spiritual insight. The simultaneous existence of the vast multitudes of the poor and the unused cash stockpiles in today’s technology companies signals lack of this insight to my eyes.

Yes: Jesus compares the runaway of money earning to the runaway of love receiving: "For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away." ~Matthew 13,12

And he says this twice to stress how important this idea is to understand. I think understanding of this could help many out of places of darkness and resentment. It is a beautiful thing that is offered to us.

Jesus knows the rich gets richer, the poor poorer and teaches that it's THE SAME with love, but for other kind of people
