To the degree that labour time -- the mere quantity of labour -- is posited by capital as the sole determinant element, to that degree does direct labour disappear as the determinant principle of production ... and [it] is reduced both quantitatively ... and qualitatively, as an, of course, indispensable but subordinate moment, compared to general scientific labour, technological application of natural sciences, one the one side, and to the general productive force arising from social combination .... Capital thus works towards its own dissolution as the form dominating production. [Marx 1974, p. 700]
