| Résumé anglais |
In Marx's theory, two different concepts of «value in use» can be found : value in use is either regarded as a natural property of goods, or as a social property. To go further into the problem, we have to deal with exchange. In fact, exchange, for Marx, supposes that each good has no value in use for his first owner but only for the final owner. (With Marx, we do not consider barter but only monetary exchange ; so it can be proved that exchange actually is a social process.) So we conclude that exchanger in Marx's theory is not a consumer, as it is in marginalist theories, but a producer.
We have now to deal with both exchange and capital. Marx's solution to the problem is logically incoherent, so we have to produce an other one. In this one, three classes have to be considered : financial capitalists, producers and workers (Marx considers industrial capitalists and workers). Capitalist profit is regarded as money interest.
