Chapter 3 in Beyond Capital, 1992, pp 35-59 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Capital, we have seen, is deficient: it does not explore the side of the capital/wage-labour relation which involves the creation of new social needs for workers (and upon which ‘the contemporary power of capital rests’). It does not 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. These were matters consigned by Marx to his planned volume on Wage-Labour.
