“The key mistake of the mode of production model was to define ‘production’ simply as the production of material objects; any adequate theory of ‘production’ would have to give at least equal place to the production of people and social relations.”

I am a big fan of Graeber’s writings on Debt, Bureaucracy, and Bullshit Jobs, but I have always found this article profound in that when we understand production broadly, so much makes more sense.

I’m a fan of Graeber too. I think the theses in this article also highlight the importance of Bourdieu’s work on sociocultural forms of capital and their expression/production/reproduction through the concept of habitus. I guess all of this thinking is grounded in Hegelian master/slave dialectic though right?
