| This question <89|78> overall <93|97> Hans: <93|97>. |
| Question 73: Use-value is the quality of the commodity, and exchange-value is its quantity. Right or wrong? |
| [94] Hans: Starting out with the wrong foot. The answer is: “Wrong”. Quality and quantity are natural attributes of every product, but use-value and exchange-value are attributes only in a very specific kind of society. |
| Perhaps one can say that for use-value the quality of the product is the main aspect (but the quantity also plays a role), and for the exchange-value it is the other way around. This is probably why the earlier answers to this question were so reluctant to say that the formulation in the question is incorrect. |
| But I see a development towards the better answer. Adamwest [78] was the boldest in his assertion that the question should be answered with “correct,” MK [81] is much less certain, and Bob [84] says that he is finding a few differences and needs more explanation, which seems to be a polite way of saying that he disagrees. |
