ABSTRACT
After giving the context of Rubin’s thinking on Marx’s value theory, the complex development and articulation of his arguments will be presented, taking into account the 1920s debates in Russia among philosophers and economists. It will be shown how his legacy is essential even today, since he is among the very few authors who connected commodity circulation and immediate production in the same notion of abstract labor. Some points of contacts and complementarity with other Marxian theorists, and some open issues for research, are highlighted.
