关于使用价值量几个问题的辨析

An Analysis of the Quantity of Use Value

传统政治经济学认为使用价值量等同于物品数量,物品数量是影响使用价值量的惟一因素。事实上,把使用价值量定义为“某种使用价值满足人的需要的程度”的认识是更加科学的。衡量使用价值量大小的标准是人的需要的满足程度而不是物品数量;使用价值量的影响因素不是单一的而是多样的,既有客观因素又有主观因素;由于人的需要的满足程度是一个动态标准,所以物品的使用价值量是不能够精确计量的。

Traditional Political Economics states that the quantity of use value (Qu) is equal to the quantity of goods, and the quantity of goods is the exclusive influencing factor of Qu. It seems to be unscientific. In fact, the Qu should be defined as the satisfaction degree given by some use value, so the standard of Qu is human's satisfaction degree, not the quantity of goods. The influencing factors of Qu include both objective ones and subjective ones. Because satisfaction degree is a dynamic standard, there is no possibility that the Qu can be precisely measured.
