>>> "Tahir Wood" But to say
that there is no meaningful distinction has some pretty weird
implications for non-capitalists. It means, for example, that a
fortune
teller's one hour of labour is equally productive to that of an
engineer
or a bicklayer or a train driver.
^^^^ CB: In _Capital_, at some point, Marx uses a Bible as an example of a commodity, i.e. it has exchange-value and therefore its production produces. Marx, the author of the thesis here, says it doesn't make any difference whether the source of use of a use-value is "fancy" or the stomach.
