| Question 112: In Contribution, p. [mecw29]270:1, Marx writes: “Although use-values serve social needs and therefore exist within a social context, they do not express a social relation of production.” Why not? |
| [85] Rhese: Use Values Do Not Express a Social Relation of Production. Because individual labor is what is used to create the use value that is found in the body of the commodity, there is no social relation occuring between commodities. The use value comes about through the bodily form of the commodity not through a relation with other individual commodities. The commodity is a product of human labor and its use value is not revealed to its economic agents through social relation. |
| Hans: You should have written “concrete” labor instead of “individual” labor. Other than that, there is good thinking in your three sentences, they are just not developed enough. Had you elaborated more, and had you connected your thoughts with the two earlier answers of the same question, this could have become an excellent contribution. This is ungraded because your last graded contribution [68] was done during the last homework period. You cannot submit more than one graded contributions in two consecutive homework periods. |
