Abstract

A very great deal has been written about the political and economic features of the epoch dubbed as ‘capitalism’. Much of this writing has been heavily theorised: quite properly so, given that the best achievement is to understand and not merely to describe. Since the ambition of the present book is to trace and analyse the fortunes of the common people within British capitalism, it is necessary not only that we offer our own theorisation but that we do so sensitive to what others before us have said. That is the purpose of this present chapter. We are mindful that the concepts of ‘state, capital and labour’ are theoretical abstractions rather than homogeneous empirical agents, and we need therefore to elucidate our understanding of them and their interrelationships.
