Note 1 — II. How Actual Life Requires that We Should Set about Solving Social Needs and Problems
Ethel Kate Bowen-Wedgwood translation
Author’s Note. For the purposes of life, what is wanted in an explanation is not definitions drawn from theory, but ideas that give a picture of a real live process. As used in this sense, “commodity” denotes something that plays an actual part in man’s life and experience. Any other concept of it either omits or adds to this, and so fails to tally exactly with what really and truly goes on in life. ↑
