Before going into further analysis of production, it is necessary to consider the various headings, which economists put next to the production. The first superficial idea: in the production of members of the community fit (create, convert) the products of nature to human needs; distribution determines the proportion of each individual in the works; exchange gives him those certain products, which it wishes to exchange fell to him in the distribution share, and finally, in consumption of products become commodities, individual assignment. Production creates the objects that correspond to the needs; distribution distributes them according to social laws; exchange again distributes the already distributed according to individual needs, and finally, in the consumption of a product falls out of this social movement, it becomes a direct object and servant of individual need and satisfies it in the process of consumption.

Production is thus, as a starting point, consumption - as a destination, distribution and exchange - as the middle, which, in turn, implies two things, because the distribution is defined as the time coming from society, and the exchange - as the moment coming from individuals. In the production of objectified identity; in consumption subektiviruetsya thing; distribution company undertakes, in the form of the ruling general definitions of mediation between production and consumption, and in exchange they are mediated random certainty of the individual. Distribution is determined by the ratio (number), in which products accrue to individuals, the exchange determines those products in which the individual [M-6] requires the possession of his part, giving them distribution.
