Quelques
citations de Marx éclairant cette problématique et de façon tout à
fait dépourvue d’ambigüité, contrairement aux propos de
l’auteur :
« To
the degree that labour time – the mere quantity of labour – is
posited by capital as the sole determinant element, to that degree
does direct labour and its quantity disappear as the determinant
principle of production – of the creation of use values – and is
reduced both quantitatively, to a smaller proportion, and
qualitatively, as an, of course, indispensable but subordinate
moment, compared to general scientific labour, technological
application of natural sciences, on one side, and to the general
productive force arising from social combination [Gliederung]
in total production on the other side – a combination which appears
as a natural fruit of social labour (although it is a historic
product). Capital
thus works towards its own dissolution as the form dominating
production. »

« As
soon as labour in the direct form has ceased to be the great
well-spring of wealth, labour time ceases and must cease to be its
measure, and hence exchange value [must cease to be the measure] of
use value. »
