III. Exchange Changes Valuation
With possibility of exchange, goods are ranked not merely according to to their direct use-value but also their exchange-value, i.e. the use-value of the goods for which they can be exchanged.
Example: In modern society, even a non-smoker might value a carton of cigarettes more highly than an apple.

V. Exchange and Specialization
Law of Comparative Advantage: Both parties can benefit if they each specialize in producing those goods in which they have the relative or comparative advantage, and then trading the surplus. This is true even if one party is more productive in all goods.
