IN THE previous article we stressed that "Capital cannot be understood without grasping Marx's debt to Hegel. This is true of the entire work, not merely aspects of In fact Marx presents his analysis of capitalist economy in a dialectical way through- out the three volumes of the work. In this article we shall this illustrate method by taking two important examples, bearing in mind that 'Capital' cannot be reduced to a series of examples, but has to be studied as a whole. We can start with a dis- cussion of the relationship between 'value' and 'price' in 'Capital' and the way in which Marx treats this question.

As we have seen, in the opening chapter of Volume 1, Marx explains that the value of a commodity was equal to the amount of socially neces- sary labour time which it em- bodied. This is the basis of his theory of value, the labour theory of value. At this point, Marx presents no systematic analysis of price.

He assumes that price and value are equal. But in Volume 3 he-demon- strates that this is not the case; indeed he establishes that under capitalism price and value must necessarily diverge, that this divergence demanded by the very working of the system. Price is the outward, the money form, which value assumes in capitalist economy.

Why does it diverge from value and why does Marx leave a discussion of this point until the completion of his near work? Under capitalism, the regu- lation of production takes place through the mechanism of the market. All production tends to be production for the market, that is it takes the form of commodity produc- tion. Capitalist economy is there- fore characterized by anarchy.

There is. no overall conscious plan determining the distribu- tion of labour. The 'planning mechanism' is the blindly working market.

Decisions taken by individual producers about their output levels, their prices, etc. are taken on the basis of profit expectations which can only guess at the intentions of pro- ducers in the same branch and other branches of industry.

The "correct' balance be- tween for example, the steel industry and all the steel-using industries (so that steel pro- duction just matches steel demand) is met only as a result of continual "trial and error' in which price and out- put always tend to fluctuate.

This is true even in phases of relative overall capitalist prosperity and expansion. It is more so in periods of even growing such crisis when fluctuations can assume violent proportions. Using our previous example, if there has been an over- production of steel relative to demand (because some pro- ducers over-estimated the market size or the share of it which they hoped to capture price will tend to fall below value. This will be an expression of the fact that socially unnecessary labour has been used in this branch of economy and some compensatory mechanism is set in motion.

In this case, the tendency for prices to fall below value will produce pressure on the rate of profit for the steel industry; this will either force producers out of business, in- volve cutbacks in production or drive capital to more advantageous sectors of the economy. So the divergence of price from value is the 'blind' regu- latory mechanism built into the capitalist system. But Marx's analysis is on a deeper level than this when he considers the relationship of the categories' value and price.

In order explain to this point we need to say some- thing about the organic com- position of capital. To start production, a capi- talist will make two types of purchase. First he buys machinery and raw materials, Fill in the form below and ser

SECRETARY, SOCIALIST LA

Name Address rents factories etc. This is his expenditure on what Marx terms constant capital, con- stant in the sense that it can- not, by its own accord, create value. Although it contains value it can only pass on the equivalent of this value in the course of production. Second, he also purchases another commodity: he buys the workers' labour power. In return for this he pays wages.

The labour which worker performs during the time he is paid his wages creates more value than the equivalent wages. For this reason Marx desig- nates it variable capital.

Concentrated The categories 'constant' and only 'variable' capital not allowed Marx to discover one of the driving mechanisms be- hind the capitalist system, but that they were also historical categories, reflecting an econo- mic system in which the of production means were concentrated into the hands of a minority class as capital.

The relationship between constant and variable capital Marx calls the organic com- position of capital; in concrete terms it is the ratio between total expenditure on raw materials, heat, power, light, machinery on the one hand and the wage bill on the other.

Under capitalism there is a general tendency for this ratio to rise; the pressure of com- petition stimulates technical changes and revolutions which all the time tend to shift the balance in favour of the value of constant as against variable capital. Marx goes on to show how this tendency lies behind the continual pressure upon the rate of profit, one of the major sources of recurrent capitalist crisis. But we have to draw atten- of tion to another aspect information about below and send to NATIONAL

CIALIST LABOUR LEAGUE,.

HIGH ST, LONDON, SW4.

Marx's treatment of the organic co position of capital: it tends tu rise, but unevenly throughout the economy. Again, because capitalism is not consciously planned, some sectors of the economy tend inevitably to move ahead more rapidly than others. This ten- dency towards uneven develop- ment become even more pro- capitalism, nounced under particularly in the epoch of imperialism. Uneven if Given this unevenness, the labour theory of value operated directly, that is, if values and prices were always equal, more values (and hence surplus values) would be pro- duced in those industries with a low organic composition of capital (the more 'backward' roughly speaking) sectors, where expenditure on labour power is relatively greater.

This is evidently not the case. In fact there is a tendency for the rate of profit to be throughout equalized the economy: this is a requirement of a system based upon the market. Thus capital will tend to flow to those branches with a high rate of profit and away from those where the rate is below average. How does Marx reconcile the 'law' of uneven develop- ment, with the 'law' of an average rate of profit? that in those He shows industries with a low organic composition prices will tend to Yon Karl Marx Erater Band.

In this way the uneven com- bination constant and variable capital will be com- pensated for by deviations of price from value. Marx explains these and related matters only in Volume 3. He does so only near the completion of his investigations because his general method, again a reflection of his dialec- tical approach to all questions, was to move from the essence phenomena of their to appearance. he with the starts 'hidden' value and moves to the 'open' price, explaining the latter in terms of the former.

Here we a classic see example of Marx's historical materialism. Relations Throughout 'Capital', he is seeking to demonstrate that all the 'appearances' in capitalist necessarily economy arose from the relations established in production between wage labour and capital. Hence the continual fluctua- ion of prices was based upol he operation of the law o value and was made necessary by the very operation of that relationship between surplus value and the various forms of capitalist income: rent, interest and profit. In Volume 1 Marx shows the

WORKERS PRESS

- mechanism by which surplus value is extracted from the working class: as we have said above through the monopoliza- tion of the means of produc- tion by the capitalist class.

Marx shows that the emer- gence of surplus value was possible only on the basis of emergence of the violent definite social relations of pro- duction involving the dis- possession of the English peasantry and the concentra- tion of all means of producing wealth into the hands of a capitalist class. Basic category But in Volume 3 Marx shows how this surplus value assumes the forms it does on the surface of capitalist society; as rent, as interest and is pront. Here Marx is concerned with the laws which govern the relationship between these three categories. But at all Points he stresses, and in his opinion this was one of the 'two best' discoveries of 'Capital', that all these forms are related to the basic cate- gory, surplus value. "The surplus value and the rate of surplus value are, rela- tively, the invisible and un- known essence, while the rate of profit and the resulting appearance of surplus value in the form of profit are pheno- mena which show themselves on the surface!' ('Capital', Vol.

'... profit is ... that dis- guise of surplus value which must be removed before the real nature of surplus value can be discovered. In the surplus value the relation between capital and labour is laid bare' ('Capital', Vol. 3.) Again we can contrast this basic materialist method with the apologetics of bourgeois econornics; the latter presents us with a spurious 'science' which explains these three deliberately categories by avoiding the relations of pro- duction. a reward for Profit is 'enterprise'; interest a reward 'waiting' before for enjoying the fruits of one's capital.

So there is a general tran- of sition from the essence phenomena to their appear- ance on the surface of the economy. But we must stress that these appearances are not mere optical illusions. As Marx chapter very 'Capital, under capitalism, social relations of production (relations between men) take the form of (appear as) rela- between tions things, com- modities. But, although appearances, these are necessary appear- ances, necessary for the capi- talist system, that is. For under capitalism, the increasingly socialized nature of production takes the form of a growing exchange of commodities. These cannot appearances therefore be destroyed 'in the head'. They can only be over- thrown through the overthrow of the material foundations which sustain them and make necessary, that is the them relations between wage labour and capital, between the em- ploying class and the working class. This is why 'Capital' ends and does not begin with a specific treatment of the class struggle and the forms which it assumes. For it is on the arena of struggle that all the class 'appearances' of capitalism (also dealt with only at this stage) will be 'smashed up' For 1 Marx the class struggle was not something 'added on' 'economic his analysis. Rather it was the plane on which men became conscious of the contradictions of society and fought them out. We can take one example by way of illustration. As Marx explains, the very drive to accumulate capital (depicted • in formula M-C-M' which we discussed in the last article) tends to pro-., duce the very force which threatens to throw this pro- cess into crisis and turn it into its opposite: the tendency for the rate of profit to fall.

We cannot deal with this law of tendency in detail at this stage. Marx explains it in Volume 3. already sug- have As we gested, the basis of this law is the tendency for the organic composition of capital (occ) to rise, that is for the value of capital (c) to rise constant rapidly than variable more capital (v). Yet it is only expenditure on v which • yields surplus any value to the capitalist. Expen- ditures on c can only transfer value to the final commodities depending upon the value of stored up labour which they embody. if the ratio of c/v is But tending to rise and yet only expenditure on v (a declining fraction of total outlays) alone then the yields surplus value, rate at which profit is earned -that is the amount of surplus value in relation total to expenditures on both constant and variable capital - must tend to fall. But Marx immediately stresses that there. is nothing automatic about the operation of this law. For there are many 'counter- tendencies' operating acting which impede, offset, or even reverse the law's operation.

Thus if the capitalist can step up the rate at which he extracts surplus value, for example, through, the drive for increased produc- tivity or through the depres- sion of wages "below value', he may be able to overcome the law's effects. Ultimately, the question is settled on the arena of the class struggle, and, above all, on the level of politics, in the struggle for state power.

For on a purely 'economic level, the forces tending to produce a breakdown in capitalist economy also. tend by their very operation to produce their 'opposites'; that is forces tending to restabilize, on a temporary basis at least, the capitalist system. These economic fluctuations can only be broken by the working class politically - through the smashing of the capitalist state which concen- trates all the power into the hands of the ruling class whose control over it allows these inevitable fluctuations to be contained within the limits of capitalism. So in the final article we shall examine some of the points discussed about the method of 'Capital' in relation to the development of post- war capitalist crisis. Saturday, October 24, 1970
