Jürgen Habermas on Relations of Production - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 252 Def Relations of Production/Marx/Habermas: relations of production are those institutions and social mechanisms that determine how the labour force, at a given level of productive forces, is combined with the available means of production. The regulation of access to the means of production or the way in which the socially used workforce is controlled also indirectly determines the distribution of socially generated wealth. Relations of production express the distribution of social power; they prejudice the structure of interests that exists in a society with the distribution pattern of socially recognized opportunities of the satisfaction of needs. See also Productive Forces/Habermas._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
