Abstract
In the previous chapter we distinguished the processes which labour takes part in. These were production, simple circulation, political and social distribution, social consumption, and the whole network of social relations. Through these processes, people make things and consume them. Philosophically speaking they express themselves through their labour, indeed externalise themselves through their labour, and then their products return to them as objects of consumption, whether as products or services. This consumption takes place in the wider society.
