Marx Miniseries: The ‘Resultate’

Having completed a year-long study of Marx’s Capital, volume 1, the MEP’s Capital Studies Group is closely reading the chapter Marx omitted from the original book. Titled “Results of the Immediate Process of Production” and often referred to by the German Resultate, this long chapter was published as an Appendix to the Penguin edition of Capital I. It can be read as a bridge between volumes 1 and 2 of Capital and presents a number of concepts in greater depth, including the distinctions between productive and unproductive labor and between “formal” and “real” subsumption of labor to capital.
