Money is the universal equivalent form of all commodities, which already show in their prices that they ideally represent a specific sum of money, expected to be transformed into money, and only receive the form in which they can be converted into use-values for their possessor by changing places with money. Thus once labor-power is found on the market as a commodity, its sale taking place in the form of payment for labour, in the wage form, then its sale and purchase is no more striking than the sale and purchase of any other commodity. What is characteristic is not that the commodity labour-power can be bought, but the fact that labour-power appears as a commodity.
