>>> "George Pennefather" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/11/00 05:51AM >>> Jim is making a mistake. A factory when used as a factory is a use value that is not a commodity. It is only a commodity when it is sold. Factories can exist for years and years -indeed for their entire life span-- as use values --as forms of fixed capital. The dirty hanky in my pocket is a use value --snot rag. But if I am prepared to sell it to you and you buy it from me because you have a use, say, for my snot rag then it eh presto a commodity. *************** CB: Sort of an intermittent phenomenon, now you see it , now you don't. Is it a commodity only in the instant when it is changing hands or is there some special time frame in which it is a commodity ? CB --- from list [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---
