AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that Marx uses the term value form to describe the phenomenal form of commodity value?
Yes. Marx explicitly uses the term 'value form' (Wertform) in Capital to describe how value manifests itself phenomenally through the exchange value or bodily form of commodities.
