Note 2 — II. How Actual Life Requires that We Should Set about Solving Social Needs and Problems
Ethel Kate Bowen-Wedgwood translation
Author’s note. It is quite possible in life for a transaction not only to be interpreted unreally, but also to take place unreally. Money and labour are not interchangeable values, but only money and the products of labour. Accordingly, if I give money for labour, I am doing something that is unreal. I am making a sham transaction. For in reality I can only give money for the product of labour. ↑
