| === Marxist commodity ===
| |
|
| |
| Commodities have a special meaning within [[Marxism]], as the embodiment of an [[exchange value]] in a [[use value]]. Within the Marxist description of [[capitalism]] commodities only exist to expand the amount of exchange value in the possession of the [[bourgeoisie]]. Exchange values, determined by the amount of work an average worker using average tools would require to produce such a good, directly express [[human labour]] and [[proletariat|proletarian]] servitude. As such, Marxists see commodities as a central element of the [[exploitation of labour]] within capitalism.

| While the Marxist assumption about the effect of commodity definitions is not universally accepted, many other theories have come to reflect some distinction between [[exchange value]] and [[use value]]. See [[service economy]] for the details of the [[Natural Capitalism]] view, for instance, in which likewise the [[commodity contract]] is deemed to be a major way [[comprehensive outcome]]s are obscured, and responsibility for harms done is diffused to the markets as a whole. The view of the [[corporation]] as an [[externalizing machine]] is also related, and has become accepted even in quite centrist circles relatively.
