What Is Capital7
Capital is that part OF wealth
which IS used for tue production Of
more wealth. and which. besides that
feature. combines these others.
First, It's being socially necessary
for production.
Third. It's being operated essentially
by wage earners, and not By It's own

Fourth. and as a consequence, it's
being a weapon for the exploitation OF
the wage earners and their subsection

sary for the protection and improve
