Value of Making. Theory and Practice in Ancient Craft Production
, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, xiv + 254 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:74 b/w, 46 col., 12 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503595191.
Summary This volume presents new scholarship on the value and valuing of craft production in ancient societies around the Mediterranean. Ancient economic history, especially when approached archaeologically, has typically - and with good reason - focused upon the objects that were produced by craftspeople, their form and style, and their distribution. Typological approaches necessary for sorting and analysing large bodies of material evidence have also prioritized the final form of artefacts. Yet it was first and foremost the craftspeople behind these items who were responsible for an item's functionality, its purpose, and its value, and these roles have in recent years received fresh attention in anthropological and sociological studies. The contributions gathered in this volume revolve around the role of makers, their handling of materials, and their place in networks of production and consumption, whilst at the same time remembering that craftspeople were never lone forces but depended on wider networks of supplies, colleagues, and consumers, as well as more ephemeral considerations such as aesthetics and religious value. Through this approach, the volume sheds new light not only on a range of crafts and materials from the ancient world, but also on the value of making and the making of value in ancient Mediterranean societies.

Der Natürliche Werth. - [THE FIRST FULLY DEVELOPED THEORY OF VALUE - COINING ""IMPUTATION""]
Wien, Alfred Hölder, 1889. 8vo. Uncut in the original printed yellow wrappers. Light soiling and a few minor nicks to extremities. A very fine and clean copy. XVI, 239 pp.
First edition, rarely seen in the original wrappers, of this important work in which Wieser attempts to apply marginal utility analysis to the determination of cost, thus for the first time fully developing a theory of value. The work ""ranks high as an original achievement"" and is one of the very earliest to realize the information value of prizes. It is furthermore here that the term ""imputation"" is coined.""It was only with Friedrich von Wieser's book [the present] that an attempt was made to fill the lacuna left by Menger and Böhm-Bawerk. Wieser makes it clear that without a solution to the problem of 'imputation' the new theory would remain incomplete and would be subjected to the widespread criticism that it cannot deal with production. The problem is posed as follows"" 'The statement that the productive goods receive their value from the value of their produce suffices only to evaluate [schätzen] the collaborating factors of production as a whole, but not separately. In order to be able to do also this, a rule is needed which allows one to apportion the total produce in detail.'(Wieser, 1889)."" (Steedman, Socialism & Marginalism in Economics 1870 - 1930). ""[H]e continued to work on the same problems and also on what he regarded merely as a first step toward a theory of value that was to be fully developed in [the present work]. He employed the expository device of studying value in a centrally directed economy and suggested possible applications of utility theory to public finance. The book gained him almost immediate acclaim, and it was soon translated into English"" (Frederich von Hayek in IESS).""[In the present work he] worked out the Austrian theories of cost and distribution (he coined the phrase 'Zurechnung', imputation), which Menger had not more than sketched, and this work must in spite of the latter fact and also in spite of glaring faults of technique, rank high as an original achievement. (Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis)""In this work he applied the marginal utility theory not only horizontally, i.e. to trading and exchange, but also vertically, i.e. to production processes. He defined the value of higher goods produced alongside them, thus developing his imputation theory. Wieser, who possessed a certain ""obsession with compulsive computability"" is recognized as one of the first economist to realize the information value of prices.""

The first printing, first part in offprint, of Max Scheler's great phenomenological work ""Formalism in Ethics and Non-Formal Ethics of Values"".Max Scheler (1874-1928), an important contemporary of Husserl, was a German phenomenological philosopher mostly known for his theories of value and philosophical anthropology. He was very inspired by Husserl and further developed his philosophical method. He was greatly admired in his time and made important contributions to his fields of philosophy. When José Ortega y Gasset called Scheler ""the first man of the philosophical paradise"", this expresses a notion felt my many of the important philosophers of his time. Though he did not always see eye to eye with Husserl and Heidegger, they admired him a great deal, and had it not been because of his early and sudden death, he might well have survived as one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. Heidegger actually referred to him as ""the strongest philosophical power in contemporary Germany, no in contemporary Europe and even in contemporary philosophy in general"" (""die stärkste philosophische Kraft im heutigen Deutschland, nein, im heutigen Europa und sogar in der gegenwärtigen Philosophie überhaupt""), and in his thoughts are represented the epitome of philosophical and cultural efforts articulated in the transition to the 20th century.In this work, which is one of his main, we are presented with the essence of Scheler's theory of value. He wishes to found an ethic in form of a theory of value, and he focuses on the feeling human nature and the individual, who feels and loves. He puts the value of the person in front of knowledge and perception and presupposes the sphere of the individual human being, denying the possibility of pure ego, pure reason or pure consciousness, thus criticizing both Husserl, Kant and German idealism. The essence of human existence cannot be accounted for by a transcendental ego, reason, will or the like, but by the human feelings with love as the centre. Scheler links human feelings to experiences of value and divides these into five ranks that can be felt by all human beings. These values are independent of the things they are felt with, though there is always a certain order, and this order is thoroughly investigated.
