ON THE USE-VALUE THEORY OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS

The article is devoted to the importance of use value in scientific and technological progress. The article considers use value as a factor in the reproduction of human life in connection with the costs of his labor. In a class society, use value gives rise to its exchange side, in spite of the use value, which contains the inhibition of the development of productive forces by production relations. Scientific and technological progress, being the most important factor in the development of the means of production, leads to the economy of human labor, thereby reducing the cost of production of use values. However, under the mode of production with the dominance of private ownership of the means of production, all the created social wealth does not serve the benefit of direct producers, which has a destructive effect on the productive forces of society, as a result, on the well-being of each and every member of society.
