Karl Marx divided commodities into two types. one was called "use-value" the other was "exchange-value". Research into ancient Greek history in the works of Aristotle provides very similar distinguishes. Marx wishes to help economists understand his definitions by providing examples of each type of commodities. A commodity with use-value would be, for example wheat. This commodity is called this as its value directly relates to the wheat's value as a food product. It is a process of consumption.
Marx defines 'exchange-value" commodities in terms of "labor". This is further narrowed down to the labor used to mine the commodity of gold. Clearly this precious metal is used in commerce for the purposes of exchange, more so then for the purposes of jewelery.

Karl Marx's theory of the fetishism of commodities suggests that in a capitalist society, people attribute mystical powers to commodities, seeing them as having inherent value and power.

What were the two types of a commodity that were defined by Karl Marx?
According to Karl Marx, the bourgeois accumulated its wealth in a wide spectrum of commodities.

Broken down to its basic form, a commodity is comprised of a "use-value" commodity and a "exchange- value" commodity.
How did Karl Marx define commodities?
In Marx's time, he saw the wealth of the bourgeois society as having an over abundance of commodities. He explained, however, that every commodity has two forms. One is "use value" and the other is "exchange value". He then travels to how English economists defined commodities, which at the time were simply "any thing necessary, useful or pleasant in life".He follows this up with how his two definitions of a commodity are the basis of bourgeois wealth (unearned wealth).
