The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates Labour produces not only commodities: it produces itself and the worker as a commodity - and this at the same rate at which it produces commodities in general (Marx, 1997: 60 - 62). This process has the direct effect of alienating the labourer from the object in the capacity of the product of his labour: The worker puts his life into the object; but now his life no longer belongs to him but to the ob...

Marx Weber Durkheim And Simmel The Individual Society
1,767 wordsKarl Marx noted that society was highly stratified in that most of the individuals in society, those who worked the hardest, were also the ones who received the least from the benefits of their labor.
