Under these conditions, the commodity has a uniform exchange
value to other commodities. This exchange value will remain constant
regardless of the individual contribution. Under these conditions the
exchange value is a reflection of “the labor time socially neccessary...
required to produce an article under the prevailing socially normal
conditions of production and with the socially average degree of skill
and intensity”. There is no distinguishable differences between one good
and another produced by the abstract labor. This is one of the conditions
resulting from the unifrom production of goods that asserts itself in the
marketplace. The marketplace therfore dictates the exchange relation
commodities and thus enforces the abstraction of labor. |
