| This question <45|82> overall <48|50> Eddie: <48|50>. |
| Question 3: What is a commodity? Marx does not give the definition of a commodity but an analysis. How would you define the thing he analyses? (The answer can be given in one sentence.) |
| [49] Eddie: Wed, 11 Jan 1995 13:28:09 -0700 (MST) A commodity is anything of worth that may be sold or purchased. |
| Hans: Marx is using a narrower definition of commodity here: any product produced for sale or exchange. Only later will he expand this and explain how also those things which were not produced for the exchange can drawn into capitalism's flourishing circulation of commodities. |
