Not even close to true. Not only has you assertion never been proven, the spectacular failure of communist states in the last century has rather undermined the labor theory of value.

Even a cursory glance shows its not true. An hour of time by Charles Dickens, or Thomas Edison certainly on average has produced far more value to our culture than the average, very good carpenter.
