| This question <1|724> overall <92|94> Hippie: <92|95>. |
| Question 6: The first sentence of Capital says that commodities are the social form of wealth in capitalist societies. What, by contrast, is the content of wealth? |
| [93] Hippie: The content of wealth could be expressed as a surplus of commodities. A wealthy person has many things he does not need. Many surplus commodities can be stored where they collect interest and become more valueable |
| Hans: Your definition of wealth as the possession of many things one does not need is another variation on the theme: wealth is not desirable anyway. |
