Subject: Activity and Money
Does anyone know of a work in the Vygotsky School which deals with money?
For example, has any maths teacher in the CHAT tradition discussed why
children who cannot do 6-2=4 know that if they have $6 and lose $2 then
they have $4 left? Has anyone studied the development in a child of the
idea that labour should be exchanged? of the concept of value? of why
wage-slavery is more respectable than domestic servitude but less
prestigious than exploiting others?
There's a lot of material about knowledge, but has anyone in the Vygotsky
school talked about ethics?
