Discussion in the Matrix reading group (see this post for instructions on how to join) Saturday/Sunday of week 4, and anyone who’d rather discuss the text here can do so instead (a few questions will be posted here as well)

If anyone wants a reminder on the weekend for this and/or future discussions, mention it in the comments

    one comment on 7: I agree that the magnitude of value of the commodity on the left side of the equation (relative form) is expressed as a quantity of another commodity on the right side (equivalent form), but IIUC Marx wasn’t talking about exchange values in this section, only values (even if capitalism only expresses value as exchange value)
