Document Summary
Concepts connected to production: the mode of production, the forces of production, the social relations of production. Feudalism: is an economic system in which people work the land for others in exchange for a share of the food production. Historically this was the mode of production during the middle ages/medieval times until it gave way to capitalism as the mode of production. Capitalism: is an economic system in which people who own private property utilize the labour of others in the pursuit of profit. Marx was most interested in capitalism as the mode of production looked at slavery and feudalism to see how we"ve historically shifted over time in regards to mode of production. The mode of production divides into 2 component parts (whether its slavery, feudalism, etc): forces of production, social relations of production. The forces of production: are all those things that are needed for production to occur.
