	Commodity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One can reasonably say that food commodities, for example, are defined by the fact that they substitute for each other in recipes, and that one can use the food without having to look at it too closely.
		Marx's analysis of the commodity is intended to help solve the problem of what establishes the economic value of goods, using the labor theory of value.
		Even so, in simple commodity production, not all inputs and outputs of the production process are necessarily commodities or priced goods, and it is compatible with a variety of different relations of production ranging from self-employment and family labour to serfdom and slavery.

	International commodity control : retrospect and prospect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Commodity policy is no longer a matter of redistribution from consumers to producers.
		Since the collapse of the tin market in 1985, the belief that commodity market stabilization cannot work has undermined producers' willingness to try to resolve difficulties within existing ICAs and has reinforced the suspicion of consumer governments that these agreements were in no one's interests.
		But the "commodity problem" has not disappeared, and producers may look for other mechanisms to raise prices from often very low levels in industries experiencing excess capacity.

	Commodity Monies
		A commodity money can give rise to a large amount of price instability if either there are large changes in the supply of the commodity or if there are large changes in the nonmonetary use of the commodity.
		Ignoring the commodity aspect of the money, the quantity theory says that this change should cut the value of the money by one half (which means that the price level should double).
		When the money is a commodity money, there are three reasons that this prediction may be wrong and that a commodity money will provide more price stability than a money not based on a commodity.
