Title: On Some Basic Theoretical Issues of Marxist Political Economy——Discussing with Mr. LIU Shi-bai
Abstract: The conflicts between individual labor and social labor should not be regarded as existing only in the simple commodity economy.Nor should they be considered as the basic conflicts of simple commodity economy,but as the basic conflicts of commodity economy which exist in all commodity economies.The conflicts between socialization of production and the private ownership of the means of production by the capitalists coexist in the capitalist societies.One can not substitute the other.Surplus value above the quota not only comes from the surplus labor of the workers of the current enterprise,but also comes from the surplus labor of the workers who work in the very low efficient departments.The value of this part of the floating capital allocated to labor is not transferred to the new product,but is created by the living labor of the employees.The reason for dividing floating capital and fixed capital is the based on the differences of the value transfer methods between the different capitals,but on the differences of value turnover methods between these different capitals.
