Value does not work, unless most work is not valued.
“As Jason Moore (2015:54) aptly summarised: 'Value does not work, unless most work is not valued'.”

Socially necessary labour time requires socially necessary amounts of unpaid work, performed by human and extra-human natures in the web of life.
“Our understanding of value is also indebted to Jason Moore's (2015) unified approach of 'labour-nature time', in which socially necessary labour time (the classic source of valuecreation in a Marxist sense) requires socially necessary amounts of unpaid work, performed human and extra-human natures in 'the web of life'.”

Jason Moore introduced the term 'cheap nature', naming the capitalist strategy of appropriating the wealth of unwaged labour, food, energy, and raw materials, by presenting them as external to the capitalist circuit of commodity production.
“In his recent work on capitalism and ecology, Jason Moore (2015) (together with Patel, 2017 and Walker, 2018) introduced the term 'cheap nature', naming the capitalist strategy of appropriating the wealth of unwaged labour, food, energy, and raw materials, by presenting them as external to the capitalist circuit of commodity production.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
