Explainer video

We have created a short film that explains labour time calculation. The film is published in various languages on our YouTube channel. If you enjoy listening, the podcast “From Alpha To Omega” presents an insightful introduction to labor time accounting.

Slides

The slides also provide a concise introduction to labour time calculation, which we developed together with linketheorie.

Literature

Our concept of labour time calculation is strongly influenced by the “Fundamental Principles of Communist Production and Distribution,” which was first published in 1930.
