Question 77: What does Marx understand to be the riddle of money?

[66] Orvee: money has no value...   Marx does not consider a commodities value to be evaluated in money. Money is not the value, it is the commodity that is the value. Money is a characteristic of the commodity. The money value or the ammount of money value already in the commodity is considered when the exchange of commodities is made. Marx is trying to tell us that the use value of a commodity is more important than the money value. It is the use value of the commodity that determines its money form..

Hans: I liked your concise formulation of an important element of Marx's theory. See may detailed commentary in message [74].
