உபரி மதிப்பு’ (Surplus Value)
மார்க்சியத்தின் இதயப்பகுதியான ‘உபரி மதிப்பு’ (Surplus Value) தத்துவத்தைப் பற்றிப் பார்ப்போம். கார்ல் மார்க்ஸ் தனது ‘மூலதனம்’ (Das Kapital) நூலில், முதலாளித்துவத்தில் தொழிலாளர்கள் எப்படிச் சுரண்டப்படுகிறார்கள் என்பதைப் பொருளாதார ரீதியாக நிரூபித்த இடமே இதுதான். இதை மிக எளிமையாகப் பின்வரும் நிலைகளில் புரிந்துகொள்ளலாம்: 1. பயன்பாட்டு மதிப்பும் பரிவர்த்

#Capitalism #Capital #Marx #SurplusValue #PoliticalEconomy: "Since its first use, there was no shared definition of the concept of capitalism, and this difficulty did not even change later on when the term widely spread and gained its popularity. The works Modern Capitalism, by Werner Sombart, and The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism, by Max Weber, were both published at the beginning of the 20th century and meant to show–despite some differences–the essence of capitalism in the spirit of initiative, in the cold rational calculation and the systematic pursuit of personal profit, greatly contributed to the popularisation of this term. However, it was mainly due to the spread of the Marxist critique of society that the word capitalism–to which the Encyclopaedia Britannica did not dedicate an entry until 1922–gained its citizenship in the social sciences.
Moreover, after being left on the margins, when not explicitly rejected, of the theoretical discourse of the main currents of political economy, it was through Marx’s work that the concept of capitalism gained centrality even in this discipline. Rather than being conceived as a synonym for political decisions aimed at benefiting the ruling classes, through Marx it took on the meaning of a specific system of production, based on the private property of factories and the creation of surplus value."

«Inflation is trending down. But #earnings have generally grown slower than #inflation, resulting in a loss of #PurchasingPower for consumers. (...) #CreditCard #debt reached a staggering $1.3 trillion in the second quarter of 2023. This is not sustainable. At some point soon, consumer spending will have to slow. And given that consumer spending represents about two-thirds of total #GDP, a #recession could still occur.»

#Ecology «The question is not how we can evolve towards a circular #economy, but instead why we continue to evolve away from it.», and the answer seems to be that private production self-organized through #market only looks to maximize #profits (#surplusvalue distribution, under #capitalism).

«“At the end of the day, the big problem isn’t the specifics of COVID-19 response,” Bray said. “It’s that Amazon treats the humans in the warehouses as fungible units of pick-and-pack potential. Only that’s not just Amazon, it’s how 21st-century capitalism is done.”»
