Document Summary

This is to the detriment of the workers, the system"s pursuit of wealth leaves the world increasingly unequal with the workers at the bottom. Wealth is indefinite, so you can always seek more of it. Commodity: anything that is being bought and or sold. Cmc begins with a sale and ends with a purchase commerce. Motive: consumption, the satisfaction of economic interests. Mcm begins with a purchase and ends with a sale capital investment. More exchange value-- the goal becomes the pursuit of wealth. There"s a shift that has taken place in economic circulation. A consumer can only use so many goods. Workers exchange their efforts for the money necessary to meet their economic needs. Modernization of economic system widens this difference by making investment easier and fasteer. Thus, as capitalist economies get more modern and efficient, inequality between capitalist and workers increases.
