The law of value is more evident to experience than positivistic science admits

Evidence

The objective and ultimately absolute Hegelian spirit; the Marxist law of value that comes into force without men being conscious of it – to an unleashed experience these are more evident than the prepared facts of a positivistic scientific bustle which today extends to the naive prescientific consciousness. Only, to the greater glory of objective cognition, that activity breaks men of the habit of experiencing the real objectivity to which they are subjected in themselves as well’. — Dirk Braunstein, Adorno’s Critique of Political Economy, 932
