| This question <49|92> overall <81|83> Titania: <964|83>. |
| 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.) |
| [82] Titania: A commodity is anything that can be bought or sold in a capitalistic society. |
| Hans: (1) it does not have to be capitalism, and (2) Marx talks about those things which are produced with the intention to be sold. If the selling is only an afterthought then it is not a commodity. |
