| This question <174|125> overall <122|124> Pinky: <31|188>. |
| Question 87: In the Simple or Accidental form of value, which commodity plays an active role, and which a passive role? Explain what it means in this situation to be active or passive. |
| [123] Pinky: Active/Passive In the example: 10 bags of potatoes = 1 coat, the potatoes take the role of the relative form of a commodity and the coat takes the role of the equivalent form. The relative form is active in that it is expressing its value in the equivalent form. The equivalent form is passive since it is merely a means by which the relative form expresses its value. |
