7 days agoReading chapter 3 of The Capital. I really think this line is the best one:
[A]lthough money is nothing but the value-form of commodities, price ceases altogether to express value. Objects that in themselves are no commodities, such as conscience, honour, &c., are capable of being offered for sale by their holders, and of thus acquiring, through their price, the form of commodities.
I also discovered the book Dialectics of the Abstract & the Concrete in Marx’s Capital, by Evald Ilyenkov.
I haven’t read it yet, but it seems like the book talks about how Marx develops his ideas from the abstract to the concrete. It might be useful for someone here.
