turnover, n.Definitions

Turnover (n.) works ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠behind the shopkeeper's back: 'small profits and quick returns' appears to him as a principle he follows on principle.

Turnover (n.) counted ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠as five times in the year makes the circulation time vanish from the capitalist's empty head, so that he imagines the capital has functioned constantly in the production process throughout the successive turnovers.

Turnover (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the circuit of capital taken not as one act but as a rhythm — the periodicity in capital's life-process, the time it needs to renew itself.

Turnover (n.) differences ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠all balance out for capital in the end — but not for the worker, who is left dependent on accidental by-employments.
