摘要
文章认为矿产资源是自然物质,没有价值。经过地质勘查劳动获取的矿产储量成果是劳动产品,具有价值,但并不等于形成了矿产资源的价值。人类的“附加劳动”也不能形成矿产资源的价值。矿产资源通过价格取得商品形式,成为“准商品”。不能把矿山地租等同于矿产资源地租,它不是矿产资源的价值基础。
Mineral resources are natural materials which have novalue itself. Mineral reserves found through geological prospecting areproducts of labor, thus possessing value. This, however, does not mean itconstitutes the value of mineral resources, and the same with human'additional labor'. Mineral resources, only when priced, may acquire theform of commodities, becoming 'quasi-commodities.' Moreover, land rentof mines cannot be considered identical with that of mineral resources; itis not the basis of mineral resources value.
