Labour Theory Of Value
In classical economics, the theory that the price (value) of a product directly reflects the amount of labour it involves. According to the theory, if the price of a product falls, either the share of labour in that product has declined or that expended in the production of other goods has risen.
Karl Marx adopted and developed the theory but it was not supported by all classical economists. The British economist Thomas Malthus was a dissenter.
