Hi Tali:
I miss you all. If you don't mind my barging in, what are you studying? I am reading earlier works of Marx and am beginning to understand what he is writing in KAPITAL. It appears that a commodity is only a commodity because of its EXCHANGE value and not because of its USE value. And it is this which turns the labour time which it takes to produce it, into a commodity itself.
All previous economic systems produced products for USE and products were valued for the USE. Now that I never got directly from Kapital. From reading around.
Anyway, all the best, Lynda
