Hi Howard:
Not that alone. Production for exchange can take place in a moneyless,
barter-based mode of production.

He was systematically 'unpacking' a theory; one section can't be read in isolation
from its connected sections. Hence, the confusions about 'simple commodity

(indeed, its first sentence) was capitalism.
In solidarity, Jerry
