  Question 43: Joseph, who lives in a capitalist society, regularly swaps his wife with the wife of his friend. Does this mean Joseph's wife has exchange-value in capitalism?   
  [34] BonzoIsGod: Wife swapping exchange-value.   A wife in a “wife swapping” situation has no exchange value as long as the swapping exists between the husband (Joseph) and his friend. In a situation where two individuals are exchanging a thing that is not regularly exchanged, this thing has no exchange-value (Ehrbar, 18). The requirement for establishing an exchange-value in this situation would be for “wife swapping” to become not only a socially acceptable practice, but also a regular practice in a capitalist society.   
  Hans: Concise formulation with a lot of content.
