Abstract

BERNIE TAFT well opens an important subject in his article “Exploitation in Affluent Society” (ALR, April-May, 1967). As he demonstrates, marxists have never viewed exploitation in terms of a simple point of production formula, even though the point of production is its main seat. Exploitation under capitalism has always been a complex all-enveloping shroud that remains essentially the same but assumes different shapes as some surface features of capitalism itself change.
