Labor theory of value/Talk

Is "intrinsicism" economics jargon? See http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=intrinsicist

I have never heard the word from anyone other than followers of Ayn Rand. --LMS

The word appears, but rarely, in the philosophical literature, I think.

Two examples I found on the web:

http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/j/justwar.htm

http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/i/interven.htm

However, the correct jargon here is 'intrinsic value theory', so I changed it.

Other examples of 'intrinsic value theory', besides the labor theory of value, would include various forms of environmentalism, and at least one theory (not of any repute, I think, but I did read it somewhere) that the 'real' value of any thing is the amount of energy it took to produce it.

The historical materialism page has a better explanation of the labor theory of value than the labor theory of value article, it seems. Ed Poor

That page has no explanation of the Labor theory at all; I have no idea what you're talking about. --LDC
