What such a presentation misses, however, are the relations of priority and determination within the capitalist mode of production itself; that is, the particular relations of dominance and subordination established between the “old” and “new” economic forms within the capitalist mode of production. As Marx writes: For example, nothing seems more natural than to begin with ground rent, with landed property, since this is bound up with the earth, the source of all production and of all being, and with the first form of production of all more or less settled societies—agriculture.
Although this problem is not the same as the problem of economism, that is, it is not a matter of differentiating between those societies (precapitalist) for which economism is false and those for which it is true, it is similar in that it deals with the relation between the conditions for the constitution of something called the economy in its differential effectivity within different modes of production. This is one of the questions at stake in Marx’s notebook on “Pre-Capitalist Economic Formations” [Formen, die der kapitalistischen Produktion vorhergehen] in the Grundrisse.
As with Marx’s account of primitive accumulation, the presuppositions and preconditions of the capitalist mode of production, the conditions that constitute its formation and yet cannot be derived from it, are the separation of the “worker” from the means of production and the freeing up of a flow of money that is capable of becoming capital; or the naked worker and free wealth.
