what are the assumption behind capitalism
Answers
1. Wage Labor:
There has to be a large group of people dispossessed of the means of production (property necessary to fulfill their needs).
2. Production For Exchange:
The purpose of production is not to fulfill people’s needs, but to create profit from exchange on the market.
3.Private Ownership of the Means of Production:
Private ownership creates wage labor through inequality. Without inequality, wage labor, thus capitalism, would be unthinkable.
4.Money/Credit:
Money is a universal equivalent that makes all exchange values (commodities) commensurable. Credit is necessary to keep anarchic capitalist market relations from constantly crashing (i.e., more then they do now).
5.A State with a Monopoly on the Legitimate Use of Violence:
Because inequality is necessary for wage labor, violence (or the internalized threat thereof) is necessary to keep the dispossessed dispossessed.
