I have created a set of flashcards for that part of the third section of chapter 1 of Marx’s Capital, volume 1, Section 3: The Value-form, or Exchange-Value, Part 2: The Simple Form of Value: (IV) The simple form of value considered as a whole (see https://quizlet.com/gt/1055912194/flash-cards/?funnelUUID=3d6948e7-1e84-4760-b149-473c5e18ca62).
There are also previous flashcards for the earlier section of chapter 1 on that site (as well as on this blog).
Here is a copy of the flashcards:
1. The value of a commodity is expressed a____________ or separately in the form of the use value of another commodity, and this expression is ________value, not value.
autonomously; exchange value; value
2. A commodity as produced iand independently of its relation to other commodities is both a ______ _______ and a _______ , and not an exchange value.
use-value,; value
3. The commodity, when i________, does/does not appear as possessing two aspects, but only one–use value–since it lacks a f______ in which it can express its nature as value.
isolated; does not; form
4. The commodity a_________ as its twofold nature by expressing its nature as v______ as distinct from its m_________ form as use value–in another commodity.
appears; twofold; value; material
5. This expression of the value of the commodity in another commodity is the e_________ v________of the commodity–not its v______.
exchange value; value
6. The expression of the value of a commodity, both q____________ and q______________, arises from the nature of the v_______ of the commodity
qualitatively; quantitatively; value
7. The value and magnitude of value of a commodity does/does not arise from its mode of expression as exchange value.
does not
8. The Mercantilists focus on the qualitative side of value, or the equivalent form, since their concern is with defining wealth in terms of the specific s___________ that constitutes the equivalent form in its developed form as m_______.
qualitative; equivalent; money; substance
9. The Free Traders focus on the quantitative side of value, or the relative form, since their concern is with defining wealth in terms of h____ m_____ other commodities will exchange for a given quantity of commodities in the relative form.
quantitative; relative; how many
10. The isolated commodity appears directly as _____ ______.
use value.
11. The internal opposition within the commodity between _____ _______ and ______ finds expression in the external opposition between the r_______ form of value and the e___________ form of value.
use value; value; relative; equivalent
12. In the expression of the value of a particular commodity in another commodity discovered in the relation between two commodities, the relative form of value counts directly only as use value whereas the equivalent form counts directly only as value, or immediate exchangeability.
use value; value
13. The commodity in its immediate form appears to lack any s_______ nature at all, or any social f______
social; form
14. The commodity in its immediate form as use value appears in the i________form of l________ any s_________ characteristics.
illusory; lacking; social
15. The result of the labouring act is, in general throughout human history, an object designed to satisfy human needs in one way or another, but it is only due to a specific kind of historical society that the labouring act results in a useful object or service that has the o________ s______ property of having a value.
objective social; value
16. A product of labour becomes a c_________when there emerges the distinction or o__________ between the _____ ______ of the commodity and its ______
commodity; opposition; use value; value
17. As the value of the product of abstract labour finds expression in e______for the e___________, it takes on the form of a c_________; the d__________ of this commodity form mirrors the development of the v_______ f______.
abstract labour; exchange; equivalent; commodity; development; value form.
18. The deficiency of the simple form of value is seen in the unlimited/limited capacity for immediate exchangeablity of the e___________: The equivalent can only be immediately exchanged with one other commodity (the commodity in the r________ form of value).
limited; exchangeability; relative
19. The simple form of value expression fails to represent the value of the commodity in the relative form as q___________ e_______ with all other commodities and q___________ c_________ to them.
qualitative equal; quantitatively comparable
20. The development of the simple form of value into a form that more adequately expresses the value of the commodity in the relative form does not involve anything complex since the simple form of value already involves the expression of the value of the commodity in a___ specific commodity; the expansion of the expression involves the expansion of the number of specific commodities in which the s_____ value is expressed.
any; number; same
