Commodities and Money

moneyMarx argues that one aspect of capitalism is that goods become commodities.

Goods become commodities when they are alientated from the conditions of their production: particularly the social circumstance under which they were produced and the labor involved in their production.

Money itself is the ultimate commodity: a pure symbolic good of absolutely equal and anonymous units that is capable of both expressing other goods and of sale and purchase in its own right.
