[815] SueGirl: Joint work of all commodities. The joint work of all commodities means that they must jointly decide on one
commodity to be the general equivalent -- for instance, gold. It is a social
agreement among the commodities based on the human labor put forth into each
commodity. This is necessary to accurately express the value of one
commodity, not because the commodities receive value from each other, but
because the relations between these commodities enable them to express their
values. In other words, if gold is selected as the use-value, then all
commodities will individually express their values in this chosen commodity
