Abstract

Capital, we have seen, does not explore the side of the capital/wage-labour relation that involves the creation of new social needs for workers (and upon which ‘the contemporary power of capital rests’). It doesn’t consider changes in the standard of necessity, those which can emerge when the worker ‘presses in the opposite direction’ to the capitalist in the course of wage struggles. Nor, indeed, does it take up the question of struggles over wages. These are the kinds of questions that relate not to the analysis of capital as such but, rather, were relegated to the ‘investigation of wage labour in particular’.
