Abstract: In corporate form, the constituting feature of the modern corporation, a top management monopolizing capitalist functions per se controls through financial and policy mechanisms a middle element of supervisors, engineers and other technicians and professionals who in turn control by administrative/technological means a work force which simply labors. Corporate form is simultaneously an ensemble of productive relationships, a property form, and the dynamic structure of capitalist accumulation, hence embodies the main class relationships of contemporary capitalism.
