Time in Marx: The Categories of Time in MarxÂ’s Capital (Historical Materialism)

Time in Marx demonstrates that the basic concepts of the three volumes of Capital come under different categories of time: "time of production" in volume one is linear, time of circulation in the second is circular, while in the third volume organic time is the unity of the two. Capitalist relations emerge as a definite organization of social time that obeys its own intrinsic criteria and operates as an autonomous, social subject.
