political economy

is the study of the nature of wealth and the laws of its production and distribution.

Writers on political economy professed to teach, or to investigate, the nature of wealth and the laws of its production and distribution.

calls on the general public — landlords, money-lenders, officials, doctors, lawyers — and their 'services' to explain what it leaves unexplained.

Recast in definition form from: “… so-called unproductive workers, state officials, doctors, lawyers, etc., and others …”

never found the solution to the falling rate of profit — which ceases to be a puzzle once you see it never separated surplus-value from profit.

Recast in definition form from: “… it has never presented surplus-value as something separate from profit …”

is a theology of private property: like the theologian who keeps humanizing the superhuman, it keeps describing inhuman relations as human and rational.

Recast in definition form from: “Accepting the relationships of private property as human and rational, political economy operates in permanent contradiction to its basic premise, private property, a contradiction analogous to that of the theologian who continually gives a human interpretation to religious conceptions, and by that very fact comes into constant conflict with his basic premise, the superhuman character of religion.”

turns apologetic when it has the same money realize two capitals: the capitalist's, and the worker's 'capital' in the form of his own labour-power.

Recast in definition form from: “… the capitalist - converts his money capital into living labour-power …”

reached its climax in Ricardo, who recklessly drew its ultimate conclusions, while Sismondi completed it by impersonating its doubts.

Recast in definition form from: “In Ricardo political economy reached its climax, after recklessly drawing its ultimate conclusions, while Sismondi supplemented it by impersonating its doubts.”

makes production obey eternal laws so that bourgeois relations can be smuggled in as natural laws of society, while distribution is left to arbitrary human choice.

Recast in definition form from: “Their object is rather to represent production in contradistinction to distribution — see Mill, e. g. — as subject to eternal laws independent of history, and then to substitute bourgeois relations, in an underhand way, as immutable natural laws of society in abstracto.”

has had two ways to fail: keep value as its basis by ignoring the gap between surplus-value and profit, or keep the visible gap and lose any scientific foundation.

Recast in definition form from: “… violently made abstraction from the distinctions between surplus-value and profit …”
