There is a Wikipedia page for the Criticisms of the Labor Theory of Value.

But there is no Wikipedia page for "Criticisms of the Criticisms of the Labor Theory of Value". Even Google doesn't turn anything up.

I have not read enough theory to even fully understand LTV, let alone understand its criticisms. But I'm assuming there are some Marxists who have written the "Criticisms of the Criticisms of the Labor Theory of Value". What would these be? Right now you get the impression that the "Criticisms of the Labor Theory of Value" are going unchallenged.

Might make more sense in the wider context of their critique, maybe... (trying to be generous here)
