remuneration of the household commodity production sector and
thus to enhance the ability of landlords. merchant capital
and usurer capital to increase their economic appropriation
of the surplus product from the commodity sector of the
peasant household. The model developed by Bennholdt—Thomsen
and Deere can thus be used to explain the articulation of the
internal sexual division of labour in the peasant household
with the articulation to landlord, merchant and financial
relations and it does not therfore apply solely to
generalised capitalist production but also to other social
formations where generalised commodity production is
existent.
In an empirical application of the model, I will argue that
rural women's subsistence production in the north Jordan
Valley has resulted in landlords, merchants and usurers being
able to appropriate economically a larger share of the
economic surplus and income generated by peasant based
commodity production than would be the case if women members
of the peasant household were not engaged in subsistence
production. Peasant women's subsistence labour is a largely
unremunerated economic "income" which permits the
reproduction of peasant relations of commodity production to
survive when the income generated in the sphere of commodity
relations does not meet the expenses of covering farm labour
costs, production costs and the costs of maintaining the
peasant family. The household subsistence economy, when
articulated with household commodity production, thus acts as
a hidden income equivalent which can reduce the cost of
reproduction of the peasant commodity production sector.
