Wage Labor in the Farms and Conditions for its Reproduction
Abstract
In research of agrarian capitalism, the central place is taken by a question of historical ways of formation of the absolutely new system of productive forces. Formation of neo-traditional mechanisms of use of hired labor and specific ways of its exploitation becomes the brightest manifestation of ambiguous consequences of the capitalist evolution in the agro-sphere. Quasi-capitalist nature of this production mode exercises dissimilar infl uence on the traditional organization of farms. The question of the nature of wage labor and forms of its organization in agricultural economy is in the center of the article. The analysis of neo-traditional social activities arising with the industrial capitalism allowed the author to make a conclusion that the split structure of agrarian production relations is at the bottom folding of special ways of hired workers using that fi nally determines the specifi cs of the surplus labor appropriation, where non-capitalistic way is dominating. The separate place in article is taken by studying of exploitation relations and conditions for their reproduction within multi-structure and quasi-capitalist economic systems. Off ering his own understanding of exploitation when studying social-economic nature of wage labor applied at farms, the author places emphasis on identifi cation of such opportunities of multistructurality which, being an integral part of the capitalist system of property relations, realize themselves in the sphere of agrarian production in pre-capitalistic and non-capitalistic forms of wage labor under capitalism.
