| Question 24: Why does Marx say that use values are the “material carriers” of exchange value? |
| [61] Pegasus: Marx says that use value is the “material carrier” of exchange value because if a commodity does not have use value it will not have exchange value either. |
| Hans: This is the end of your answer. The things you are writing from now on are quotes from my Annotations, but it is not apparent how they relate to the question asked. |
| [61] Pegasus: The usefulness of a commodity gives it its use value. Use value can only be realized in consumption. The exchange value of a good consists in exchanging one use value for another. A commodity is produced for sale or exchange since the worker no longer has a direct link with the commodity that he or she is producing. |
