Commodity, Use and Sentimental Value

Update: 2013-01-09

Description

Commodity value is the most beautiful and metaphysical product of the capitalist market and our imagination. Few things could be more supernatural than this value; it makes a pound of gold appear ‘naturally’ more valuable than a pound of steel. And the day gold stops appearing naturally more valuable (that is, the day commodity value disappears) is the day capitalism dies.
