| This question <238|237> overall <61|63> Eatsono: <639|78>. |
| Exam Question 86: Marx emphasizes in section 1.2 that the coat is a use-value which satisfies a particular want. What about the linen? Is the linen a use-value too? |
| [62] Eatsono: Use Value. I believe that linen is a use value, a use value through the quality and quantity of the linen. Many people would want fine linens compared to wool or other material, so linen would become something desired. It also contains exchange value, for fine linen could be exchanged for other desirable goods. |
| Hans: Yes, this is the right answer. You won't get a grade because this is a designated exam question. It is a very easy question, which is is in here only because some participants of earlier classes thought that linen does not have use-value, because it is an intermediate product which has to be processed further to become a finished product. Marx said explicitly that means of production have use-values too, and the same applies for intermediate products. |
