# Market Price of Commodities — decomposes into — Wages of Labour

## Subject

Market Price of Commodities

## Predicate

decomposes into (wages as component)

## Object

Wages of Labour

## Relation Type

produces

## VSM Channel

S2 → S2 (price as coordination signal resolves into its component coordination signals)

## Evidence

Book I, Chapter 6: "In every society the price of every commodity
finally resolves itself into some one or other, or all of those three
parts [wages, profit, rent]; and in every improved society, all three
enter more or less, as component parts, into the price of the far greater
part of commodities."

## Feedback Role

This is one of the three price-decomposition relations (alongside market
price → profits of stock, and market price → rent of land). Together
they form the **Three-Component Decomposition**: the price system
connects the coordination layer (S2) back to the distributional outcomes
for all three factor markets. The decomposition is the analytical
foundation from which Books I and II derive their structure.
