| This question <992|18> overall <8|10> Darci: <764|10>. |
| 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.) |
| [9] Darci: An elemental unit of economy consisting of infinitely many goods and services which satisfy utility by consumption of human kind. |
| Hans: The use value is only one aspect of a commodity; then Marx goes on to say that commodities also have exchange value. And you are trying to give an analysis, not the definition. Try this question again! |
| [9] Darci: (datestring)Tue, 17 Jan 1995 17:29:20 -0700 (MST)(/datestring) A commodity is anything that satisfies human needs and desires which can be exchanged for anything else that meets the same criteria and which are not available other than through exchange. |
| Hans: The answer I wanted was: a commodity is anything produced for exchange. |
