production to have methods of circulation specific to these
modes. This is clearly not the case. Let us consider’ the
example of the capitalist mode of production; this form of
Production involves two analytically distinct processes. The
first involves a particular organisation of the labour
process in which labour 1s purchased as a commodity. The
second involves a particular mode of expropriating surplus-
labour in the form of surplus-value in the valorisation
process. (76) These two processes are internal to the
capitalist mode of production and distinct from the process
of the circulation of commodities.
Historically, commodity markets in produce and money pre-
existed the capitalist mode of production. In fact these
commodity markets are a necessary antecedent condition for
the capitalist mode of production to come into being. But
there is no logically compelling reason why we should reduce
the capitalist mode of production to its antecedent
conditions or to view the antecedent conditions as part of
this mode of production per se. These antecedent conditions
merely allow us to establish the fact that the market
conditions which are necessary for the capitalist mode of
production to operate are established. These are necessary
but not sufficient conditions which allow us to identify the
operation of the capitalist mode of production in a_ social
formation.
Marx himself clearly distinguishes the interrelatedness but
structural independence of the capitalist mode of production
