| This question <67|164-3> overall <67|69> Hans: <65|69>. |
| Question 98: If the first Chapter is such a systematic discussion of value, why is it then called “Commodities” and not “Value”? |
| [68] Hans: Value Crawling out of its Home in the Commodity Pepper argues in [67]: of course it must be called “commodity” and not “value” because value is just an aspect of the commodity. |
| This is true as far as the present readings are concerned; but later on Marx describes how value crawls out of the commodity: money can be considered a form of existence of value independent of particular use values, and capital is value running amok, jumping from one use value to the next in order to increase its magnitude. In our society, value is real and active, it has become much more than a subordinate aspect of the commodity. |
