The Evolution of Capitalism and Labor
This chapter explores the transformation of capitalism through Marx's lens, focusing on the shift from handicraft to industrial production. It highlights the changing nature of labor, machinery, and the relationship between workers and production, noting how workers became increasingly de-skilled and treated as interchangeable in the industrial age. The discussion also critiques the classification of different types of labor, advocating for a deeper understanding of value production to support revolutionary movements.
