Yeah -- no prob. The graphic illustrations / diagrams are there as *supplemental* material, and are *optional*, of course.
Okay, *this* -- ?
I have no contention here.
I would only go 'further', as I did, to ask:
I swear I'm not been contentious -- your positing of capitalism squarely in the 'social' domain ('social science'), means that *logically* you *agree* with the Marxist-Leninist (not one myself) construction of 'base and superstructure'.

Of course. That's the archetypal example.
I mean to ask, though, what are the possible / conceivable *sources* of material-value input, for any given transaction of (exchange-) value.
'Goods and services', *correct* -- ? And how are each 'goods' valued (in currency) exactly, and how are 'services' valued (in currency) -- this same situation keeps cropping-up in exchanges with TTP: Is *social organization* ('executive' functioning) the source of value, or is it wage-work *commodity production* that's the source of value -- ?

As an example, a lot of the value of gold is because it is long seen as a store of value. But it's not 'natural' or intrinsic. Part of it's value is determined by belief.
Of course. That's the archetypal example.
