From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gar Lipow
Gar comes close to Marx, who says that earlier modes of production [feudalism, slavery] pumped out surplus, but not in the form of surplus value. I always had the impression that surplus value was not a concept that applied only to capitalism, but that capitalism had as a critical core a particular way of assigning claims on surplus value. For instance, under some forms of feudalism the primary producer of surplus value was agricultural labor, but the primary means of claiming that surplus value was rent.
