This article looks closely at the concepts of  use-value  and  exchange-value  and their application in housing research. Critique of the prioritization of exchange-value under capitalism lies at the heart of a vast body of academic literature on the right to housing and the right to the city. However, most publications apply these terms not in their original meaning as categories of economic theory, but as normative categories, which leads to their moralization. To address this problem, this paper traces the transformation of use-exchange-value dialectics from its origin in Marxian value theory, throughout the writings of Lefebvre and Harvey to its current application in housing research. It identifies the sources of the positive bias associated with the concept of  use-value  and proposes an alternative interpretation differentiating between use-value  in general , use-value  of a commodity , and  social  use-value. This paper argues against the conflation of economic value and moral values in housing research.
