The first time around I ignored "goods* which do not have a use-value"
because it wasn't the main point of the argument.

The use value of money is precisely its exchange value - that's what
money is.

Pet rocks provide entertainment, gives its owner a talking point
at parties etc. It has a use value, as does a statue.

So I can't think of any Labour which produces no use value.
Even digging a hole and then filling it in makes me fit !
