"Capital is a Kind of Production Relation"—An Interpretation based on the Critical Narrative Form of Capital
As a political economy criticism of capital,Capital explains capital with a unique critical narrative form different from classical political economy,pointing out that"capital is a kind of production relation".An accurate and rich understanding of"a kind of production relation"cannot be achieved without a precise grasp of this critical narration.Classical political economists generally believed that"capital is a thing".Out of criticism,Marx actually adopted the narrative form of"capital is not a thing","capital is a thing that has been transformed into capital",and"capital is a kind of production relation",which includes a negative beginning,a transitional intermediate,and a positive ending,thus achieving the dialectical unity of capital being both a thing and not a thing.It reveals that capital is essentially an employment relationship that includes ownership of things,and reflects capital as a vivid whole of changes and contradictory movements.Staying at any stage without considering any narrative part as a cohesive whole that is closely integrated will result in a separation of the dimensions of capital and relationships.
