[91] Slacker: The commodity must be considered to be an average sample of its
kind if it is to reflect the socially neccessary labor time that it
embodies. It is also average in that the consumer cares not whether the
commodity was produced by the most expediant worker, giving the lowest
cost, or the slowest worker, giving the highest cost. The consumer pays
the average of these two. In other words the consumer pays according to
the socially necessary labor time required to produce the commodity. If
the commodity was not sold according to snalt (socially necessary abstract
labor time) then indeed the lazy and slow worker would recieve a higher
price for the commodity that s/he produces. |
