Accumulation, Segmentation and the Discriminatory Process in the Market for Labor Power

Patrick Mason

Review of Radical Political Economics, 1993, vol. 25, issue 2, 1-25

Abstract: This paper develops a possibility theory of discrimination. I use Marx's theories of accumulation and competition to show that the persistence of alternative forms of discrimination are consistent with the reproduction of capital. Along the way, I also develop an approach to labor market segmentation that is independent of the structure of output markets. Accordingly, this paper accepts and extends recent Marxian notions on the complementarily of racial exclusion, the accumulation of capital and the competitive process.
