More context please


Explanation:
Is there a period after échange? What about the sentence after it?
It looks like this sentence migh be missing a complément d'objet.

use value and exchange value


Explanation:
I assume they are talking about the much debated distinction between use value and exchange value, a pet concern of Karl Marx and one also addressed by Stanley Jevons and others. They are two different values but are inextricably linked in economic theory.
Marxist economics maintains that under the capitalist system of production, exchange value replaces use value.

Disclaimer: I studied economics in the sixties (a time when Marx was infinitely more fashionable than he is today) and my memory is sometimes a little fuzzy, so don\'t put too much trust in my explanation, although I feel pretty confident regarding the terms themselves.
