Best Answer

According to Karl Marx, the bourgeois accumulated its wealth in a wide spectrum of commodities. Marx believed that to simplify this concept, it's more informative to view all of the commodities owned by the wealthy classes as one , instead of analyzing them all. 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).
