To put it another way, maybe "variable capital " is best thought of as the "variable component of capital". And constant capital is the "constant component of capital".
The book title is _Das Kapital_ , which I believe is "The Kapital". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Max: Sure, but KM thought it enough of a thing to posit all sorts of mathematical formulae including its constituent parts (fixed, variable, etc.) ^^^^^^^ Yea, that's why I said: I know "capital" is used to refer to means of production, things, (constant capital) and labor power ( variable capital) , too. But then constant capital and variable capital are used in relation to each other in the formulae. Variable capital is never discussed in isolation from constant capital ( and vica versa) is it ?
