Then anything which has been produced but not sold on the market becomes a
form of value production, in particular government orders. This procedure
would erase the distinction between production and capitalist production
and thereby undercut the theory of the limits of the mixed economy. At any
rate, inventories are superposed commodities which have not yet been
collapsed.
