- From the production process
- From species-being
- From other workers
Share and discuss findings in class, relating to modern workplace issues.]]> 2025-06-26 05:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705069 anhth81 https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705070 - Colonial exploitation
- Land enclosures
- Modern land grabs
- Resource privatization
Create presentations linking these processes to the birth and expansion of capitalism. Discuss how primitive accumulation continues today.]]> 2025-06-26 05:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705070 anhth81 https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705072 - Calculate values based on labor time
- Transform values into prices of production
- Account for different organic compositions of capital
- Analyze profit rate equalization
This hands-on activity helps understand the complexity of Marx's value theory and its relation to market prices.]]> 2025-06-26 05:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705072 anhth81 https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705073 - Initial investment
- Production process
- Market competition
- Reinvestment decisions
Some students start with more 'capital' than others. Document how initial advantages multiply over time, demonstrating Marx's concepts of capital concentration and centralization.]]> 2025-06-26 05:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705073 anhth81 https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705074 - Overproduction
- Falling rate of profit
- Credit system's role
- Social consequences
Each group presents their analysis and connects it to Marx's crisis theory.]]> 2025-06-26 05:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705074 anhth81 https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705075 - Labor involved at each stage
- Value addition
- Working conditions
- Profit distribution along the chain
This helps understand concepts of commodity fetishism, surplus value, and labor exploitation. Students present their findings through flowcharts and lead class discussion.]]> 2025-06-26 05:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705075 anhth81 https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705077 - Necessary labor time
- Surplus labor time
- Value created vs wages paid
Use this practical demonstration to explain surplus value extraction and exploitation rate. Conclude with analysis and discussion of real-world parallels.]]> 2025-06-26 05:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haianhto/3j3y0dgb53qg4xtw/wish/3502705077
