On the Criticism of B ohm-Bawerk agaist Marx

Since Bohm-Bawerk published Karl Marx and the Close of his System,there havebeen many arguments about it.However,Bohm-Bawerks idea has not been adequatelychallenged by Marxist economists.Most of their arguments concentrate on the discrepancybetween the 1st volume of Capital and the 3rd volume of Capital or counter argumentsagainst Bohm-Bawerks subjective utility theory. Although these arguments are quiteimportant, they are insufficient.One critical point of ohm-Bawerks attack concerns thesource of profit.He thought the periods of production justify the profit taken by capitalists.Negishi(1994) also criticizes Marxs value theory using Bohm-Bawerks argument,andthis argument is considered as the fatal flaw by neo-classical economists. But,there havenever been discussed adequately on this crucial point by Marxist economists. So, it may beseen that Marx failed to see it. Indeed, there is no argument about it in his magnum opus,but he argued it in Theories of Surplus-Value,the 4th volume of Capital.In this paper,Idiscuss about this point in accordance with Marxs description in Theories of Surplus-Value,and clarify Marxs thought on it.
