SOC 185M Midterm Terms
idealism - correct answer ✔often distinguished from Marx's renewed
emphasis on the "material," idealism sees ideas as having a "life of their own"
in shaping societies


dialectics - correct answer ✔history progresses through a progressive series
of clashes between opposites (perhaps between the bourgeoisie and the
proletariat, for example), kind of like a conversation (dialogue) in which
progress is made through contradiction


negativity - correct answer ✔one aspect of Hegelian dialectics, an essentially
creative movement or critique that contradicts what is already existing in
society order to build something better, through process of first negation
(tearing down) and then second or absolute negation (building something
new)


Use Value - correct answer ✔subjective qualitative measure of some human
want or need (the usefulness of a commodity)


Exchange Value - correct answer ✔objective measure of value of a product
produced to satisfy some use value, based upon quantity of labor required to
produce it


Surplus Value - correct answer ✔value extracted by capital during production
process by not paying the workers the full value of their labor in terms of how
much value the added to the product through their work; using this "surplus
labor time" as the eventual source of profit - either absolute (extend working
day) or relative (use machinery

, Socially Necessary Labor Time - correct answer ✔the necessary time each
day where workers have to work to produce the equivalent of their own
"livelihood" (their worth), responsible for a commodity's exchange value


Concrete Useful Labor - correct answer ✔a specific type of labor, associated
with production of use values


Abstract Labor - correct answer ✔general unskilled labor, associated with
production of exchange values or value


constant capital - correct answer ✔includes fixed capital, and raw materials
all objects purchased to help production (like machinery). the capitalist buys
them, they basically retain all of their value. the price of a machine is basically
the same as the value it "produces."


variable capital - correct answer ✔human labor power is the only kind of
variable capital. It "changes" its value since the capitalist buys it, but (unlike
machines) the worker produces more value than it takes to sustain them. price
(wage) is less than the value produced.


primitive accumulation - correct answer ✔capitalism was not started simply
by some people saving more money than others, but by violently separating
peasants from the land so that they were forced to work for wages. (Thus,
shares some things with enslavement of indigenous Americans and Africans.)


unemployment - correct answer ✔rise of technology puts lots of people out
of work. This drives down the wages of the jobs that are left, but also creates
discontent among the unemployed so that (as Marx sees it) they will organize
and overthrow capitalism
