chapter 1 comidities section 1 The Two Factors of a Commodity: Use-Value and Value

wealth in capitalism is the accumulation / comidities

a comidity is a non human entity that satisfys a want
things have two 'stats' pertanent to exchange value: quantity & quality
it may have many properties/uses but those are examined by history,
as are the exaimination of standard units of mesure
things have utility, but there is no utility particle, instead utility is an emergant property
utility is independent of the time reqired to make it
use values only have value while being consumed, they also 'store' exchange value
exchange value seems like, the proportion where values of one sort are exchanged with others therefore exchange value s
being propotinal to comodities seems no
a given comodity a can be traded for x d's, y e's, or z f's thus they all must have replacable values
therefore exchange values express something equal
exhange values are not 'real' but abstract like good truth beauty ect. Thoe would affect the use value but not [value, trade
if we ignore use value the only common property left is they are prooducts of labour, but the form of them and thus the la

each of thes products is but a mass of human labour, all they say is that they were made by humans, these are Values, wha
exchange values are independet on their use value thus, when tradin it is based on values, and the only way to see values
value is mesured in its quantity thus, time but time as it would take the average worker on average, if you are slower in do
context changes how much labour is nesesary, with good times 1 hour might get you 8 corn but in bad times you might on
The value of a commodity, therefore, varies directly as the quantity, and inversely as the productiveness, of the labour inco
A thing can be a use value, without having value (labour) e.g. air dirt rainbows
A thing can be useful, and the product of human labour, without being a commodity, if you are self suficent but not exporti
comidities, you must crystalise labour for others for it to be a comidity
