Summary

This quote, by Karl Marx, suggests that the value of scientific discoveries or innovations generated through mental work is often underestimated. This is because the time and effort needed to reproduce or replicate such findings does not align with the time and effort initially invested in their creation. In other words, the value of science diminishes in relation to its production because the reproduction process does not honor the same level of mental labor put into its original development.
