Abstract
In this chapter, we will make a case for a missing book on wage-labour and will indicate some (but by no means all) of the contents of such a volume. Let us begin by clearing the slate — by challenging Rosdolsky’s extensive demonstration that ‘Wage-Labour’ was indeed incorporated in Capital.
Man is distinguished from all other animals by the limitless and flexible nature of his needs … The level of the necessaries of life whose total value constitutes the value of labour-power can itself rise or fall.
Marx 1
