Document Summary
Common ownership of the world by everyone: no one contributed to making the world therefore it is a collective. Therefore labour comes in allowing us to mix a bit of ourselves into something therefore. Justifying property making it ours: since oneself is his own property, labour also belongs to him, limits. Natural limits to acquisition since man has limits to how much he can work. If you work on commonly owned land, it is yours: he cannot consume it all. Money"s entrance = change in value of everything: from usefulness to a piece of metal. Freedom of the person > living the good life. Alientation: moral concept, separation and confrontation, difference and opposition, estrangement from an independent object. Alienation from products of labour: workers become poorer, devaluation of world of men and increasing value of world of things, product independent of producer, objectification of labour.
