THE SURPLUS VALUE IN HISTORY
From the outset, there are use values that are the goods that meet vital needs, along with the production of exchange values used in trade and that only satisfy the manufacturer and its intermediaries.
In addition to barter, money is used as a commodity of a value equivalent to the rest of them. Bartering is a commercial operation among producers; the sale is made by intermediaries outside the production processes. These transactions have been facilitated by money.
The legal owners of money are the bankers who replace the official currency of the State (BCV banknotes and coins) by different forms of bank money. Today, for example, they use debit and credit cards, and not so long ago, current accounts.
While the values of use are needed by the final consumers, the values of changes only serve the capitalist who perfectly and at his convenience can accumulate them, revalue them or depreciate them through the induced play of supply-demand.
Let's say that exchange value, through money, is typical of capitalist circulation, while simple circulation is reduced to that of use values. Those who control money control the economy.
Without going too far: the employer pays with wages and workers exchange them for use values to which the employer, through the market, puts his capricious and interested profit margin.
Well, let's call surplus-value the surplus product, referring to the values of use created gratuitously by slaves, and starting from class societies. It is that as long as the money does not appear, it is meaningless to talk about exchange value and the commercial transactions revolve around the value of use.
Also during the biblical patriarchates many workers operated in favor of the patriarch and in a certain way the best life of this one responded to that kind of primitive and communal exploitation with a kind of extended and cooperative family with an essential labor and hereditary direction.
Established the slave mode, to the inversion of this by concept of purchase of slaves and the corresponding means of production, that slaver reasonably aspired to a profit; and I saw that he got it because he even owned the same person as the worker, the slave.
That surplus product obtained by the difference Initial investment and sale of the merchandise of the case, meant a gain derived, then, from the corresponding surplus product.
The surplus value continues to evolve and we fall into those 1,000 medieval years during which it was established as more profitable to have servants and domestics than slaves. These workers were allowed to live off their work in a part of the lands of the feudal lord. There was no talk of the necessary time of the daily work to replace the contribution of the employer, but of the necessary time of the week.
The servant operated during certain days of the week on his assigned plot, and during the others he had to work on that man in his lands, of course of better productive quality. These workers were an integral part of the assigned land. When those territories were sold, they did it with workers included, on a par with their corresponding fauna and flora.
Thus we arrived at the sixteenth century of this Christian era. and the commercial operations overflow the quasi-natural productive capacity of the glebas, of the field. Since then it became necessary the maximum mobility of the worker to places not necessarily of the parcel field.
The exchange between producers is inefficient in the face of the trade that has developed since then without stopping until now.
Artisanal work begins to gain productive force and since then it is about manufacturing the raw materials obtained in the field, and taking merchandise to distant places of the productive centers.
This topic takes more deliveries; we are processing them. Remember that all this enigma of inflations and deflations, of hoarding and extraction contraband, revolve around money made merchandise. The direct transactions by means of truque do not suffer those crises, although the markets have limitations that have blocked the international and national commerce.
