This question <294|5> overall <727|5> Ben: <651|24>. (graded A– weight 60%)  
  Question 54: The use-value of a commodity is the utility one gets from using it; the exchange-value is the utility one gets from using those things one can trade the commodity for. Right or wrong?   
  [4] Ben: Right. Let's say I was right handed and had a pair of right handed scissors. Being right handed, I would attribute a lot of use value for this commodity. Now if I was left handed, the right handed scissors would have little to no use value to me. Thus, the scissors would have more exchange value to me because of the things I could receive from someone in exchange for them. So I might exchange these scissors to someone that is right handed because the use value for those scissors are higher to them than to me. I would then ask for something in return that has more use value or exchange value, i.e., money, gold, jazz tickets, or left handed scissors that I could use.
