A few questions for this chapter:

  1. Describe how value is added during the production process, and how value is preserved/transferred from the means of production to a product.
  2. How much value is transferred from an instrument of labour to its product(s)?
  3. Can value exist outside of a use-value? Why or why not?
  4. Name a few instruments of production that transfer no value, and why this is the case.
  5. What are constant capital and variable capital, and how are they related?
