Simple commodity production (also known as petty commodity production) is the production of commodities under the conditions which Marx called the “Simple Exchange”of commodities. Simple exchange occurs when individual producers trade the products they have made directly, themselves, for other commodities. Under simple exchange, workers directly own their own means of production and sell products which they have made with their own labor. Simple commodity production and simple exchange use what Marx referred to as “C→M→C ” or “Commodity → Money → Commodity” mode of circulation. Circulation is simply the way in which commodities and money are exchanged for one another. For example, I make art and am selling it to you for money, which I will then use to buy food, housing, and other commodities I need to live.
