Valorization of Capital
Mandel also refined the concept of valorization of capital in late capitalism.
He states : " Volarization ( Verwertung ): The process whereby capital increases its own value by the production of surplus-value.
Marx presents the process of commodity production as a unity of TWO distinct process -- the labour process through which labour-power produces use-values, and the valorization process through which labour-power produces additional value over and above its own value. This surplus-value, although created during the process of production, has first to be realized through the sale of commodities before capital can appropriate it and therewith actually increase its own value."

Famous quotes containing the word capital:
“If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.”
