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, Subsection 2: The Total or Expanded Form of Value: Parts 1 and 2, The expanded relative and equivalent forms of value (see https://quizlet.com/gt/1056520475/marx-capital-volume-1-chapter-1-section-3-the-value-form-or-exchange-value-subsection-2-the-total-or-expanded-or-form-of-value-parts-1-and-2-the-expanded-relative-and-equivalent-forms-of-val-flash-cards/?funnelUUID=6d0fb2f2-2979-4464-8991-98b37b3ca042 ).
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:
(I) The expanded relative form of value
1. The total or expanded form of value can be expressed as o____ commodity of a c______ amount as equal to, i____________and separately, m_____ other equivalents of c_______ amounts.
one; certain; individually, separately; many, certain
2. In the expanded form of value, the value of a single commodity is expressed relatively in a s______of d___________ commodities, each representing it as e_________.
series; different; equivalent
3. This m_________ of expressions shows that the value of the commodity does not reside in any p________ use-value, but in the abstract, socially necessary labour and its measurement in time that is c_______to all.
multiplicity; particular; time; common
4. It reveals that the labour embodied in the commodity is/is not directly social, but becomes s_______ v________only through this r________ expression in other commodities.
is not; socially valid; relational
5. The particular form of the use value shows itself explicitly to matter/not matter for the expression of the value of the commodity.
particular; not matter
6. In the simple form of value, the proportion in which two commodities exchange a________ a__________, since this form does/does not yet express the underlying principle that regulates exchange—namely, the s_________n_________ labour time contained in the commodities.
appears accidental; does not; regulates; socially necessary
7. The relation between the relative form and the equivalent form in the simple form of value reflects a r____ equivalence, but its basis remains h______, making the exchange ratio s____ merely a________ or accidental.
real; hidden; seem arbitrary
8. In the expanded form of value, the background, qualitatively, of _________ ________ ________ that is not immediately social and, quantitatively, as ___________ __________ _________ ________, is more a__________.
abstract human labour; socially necessary labour time; apparent
9. The magnitude of value of the commodity in the relative form of value does/does not change despite being expressed in numerous other use-value forms.
does not
10. In the expanded form of value, it becomes less/more apparent that it is the _______________ of the ___________ of the commodity in the r________ f_____ which r________the p_________ of the exchange of the commodities and n___ the p___________ of commodities exchanged which regulates the magnitude of their value.
more; magnitude; of value; relative form; regulates; proportion; not; proportion
(2) The particular equivalent form
11. Every p______ commodity in the equivalent form represents the p______ embodiment of the value of the same commodity in the relative form.
particular; particular
12. Each equivalent form exists a__________ all the others as an equivalent of the same relative form of value, thereby limiting the i_____ nature of the _____ _____or the material form of the equivalent form as being e_________ embodied valued or i_________ exchangeable.
alongside, illusory; use value; exclusively; immediately
13. Just as the numerous use values now represent the embodiment of the value of the same commodity in the relative form, so too do the n_______ forms of concrete/abstract labour which produce diverse forms of the e________now r___________ diverse forms of concrete/abstract human labour.
numerous; concrete; equivalent; represent; abstract
