[93] Disgusted: Quality vs. quantity of Labor Quantity of labor is a measurement of the time spent
from taking a commodity and producing a use-value or
desired materialistic need or want. This measurement
of quantity is determined by the importance (placed
socially) of the value of the product. Although
separate from quantity, quality can only be achieved
with human labor. This labor is expressed as value.
Value is a property of things created with human labor,
it is an attribute of all commodities, and arises only
in an exchange process dictated socially.
Since the content of quality and quantity of labor
cannot be abstracted from a social form, the quantity
of value cannot be considered mysterious. |
