Labor is human activity that people intend to pay out physical and mental power to meet their varied needs under the conditions of socialist market economy, not only labor products can become commodities, non-labor products also can become commodities. The nature of commodity is the characteristic of usefulness, scarcity, limit and exchange. Value is the attribute of goods and labor that bring economic interests. The source of value is that labor create value and factors-of-production bring interests. Labor is the source of value, but not all labor can formulate value, and labor is not the sole source of value, either. Put the specialty of the relations of production of capitalism aside, a series of categories and fundamental theory in Capital may be applied in socialist society. We should transform and absorb the theory and viewpoint of Capital completely and systematically, and put them into practice successfully. This is the way or prosperity to solve the problem of socialist economic theory.
