Note 973 — Chapter III · : MARXISM

“By turning his money into commodities that serve as the material elements of a new product, and as factors in the labour process by incorporating living labour with their dead substance, the capitalist at the same time converts value—i.e. past, materialized, and dead labour—into capital, into value big with value, a live monster that is fruitful and multiplies.” (Ibid., p. 176.)
