Marx didn't say it was the "law of value" (in inverted commas), I did.
The first quotation Hinrich gave is the one Popper misquoted; it comes
from the 1867 Preface to _Capital_. However, read in the context of that
Preface I think it is clear that, by the "economic law of motion of
modern society", Marx did mean the law of value. Why do you think this
is a misrepresentation?
