John Roemer has an article in Egalitarian Perspectives (book) called
"Should Marxists be interested in exploitation?". he  basically argues
that Marxists should develop a _theory of justice_ instead of a _theory of
labor value_. some marxists, whom i respect a lot, like Maurice Dobb,
claim that marxists can not, and should not abondon the theory of labor
value, and that it is still worth preserving. For a better discussion of
his arguments, see the book Political Economy and Capitalism.
