trinity formula, n.Definitions

The Trinity formula (n.) pairs ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠capital with profit, land with rent and labour with wages, and holds in itself all the mysteries of social production — sources as related as lawyer's fees, beetroot and music.

The Trinity formula (n.) completes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠capitalism's mystification: a bewitched, upside-down world haunted by Monsieur le Capital and Madame la Terre, at once social characters and mere things.
