Abstract

I argue that it is enlightening to consider not only production but also exchange and consumption as social relations. In this chapter, I note the central place that is occupied by labour and production in Marx’s theory and seek to better understand why this is so, which relates in part to Marx’s conception of human nature. I argue that to place such a heavy emphasis on labour was in no way novel for economists of his time. The originality of Marx, I suggest, was his emphasis on the social.

1
He rejects two other simplistic views of this identity. The first is the metaphysical argument. (“After this, nothing is simpler for a Hegelian than to assume that production and consumption are identical.”) The second is the accounting identity, put forward by “prosaic economists, such as Say who claim that “if one considers a nation … then its production is its consumption”.

Marx uses the term “man” to refer to humankind. In discussing his works, I adopt the same inappropriate terminology.

Fromm suggests a longer list: “For Spinoza, Goethe, Hegel as well as for Marx, man is alive only inasmuch as he is productive” (Fromm 1961: 29).
 
4
See next footnote for further discussion of the significance of “consciousness” here.
 
5
The interpretation of the term “conscious” is important. The earlier quotation (see previous footnote) implies that it means no more than capable of planning; but it could be taken far more broadly to refer to social consciousness.
 
6
Alternatively, adopting an essentialist interpretation, this might be more closely linked with the previous point—the nature of man; thus, the proletariat is important not simply because it is a politically effective force, but because of its role in the necessary unfolding of events.
