To become a commodity a product must be transferred to another, whom it will serve as a use value, by means of an exchange.)[12] Lastly nothing can have value, without being an object of utility. If the thing is useless, so is the labour contained in it; the labour does not count as labour, and therefore creates no value.
Human labour, physical work invested, represents the aim of the product and the human labor as an abstract. The cost of labour then is part of the process in creating value contained with commodities. The true value of the commodity is then judged by current society, ie: wants and needs.
