Re Rakesh's [6511]:
Of course, take your time. In thinking about this
question re 'totality' and the world market, (re-) consider
please the meaning of the following sections of the
_Grundrisse_:
-- p. 108 (all page #s refer to Penguin edition);
-- pp. 227-28 in particular:
"the world market the CONCLUSION, in which production
is posited as a TOTALITY together with all its moments,
but within which, at the same time, ALL contradictions
come into play. The world market then, again, forms the
presumption of the WHOLE as well as its substratum.
Crises are then the general intimation
which points beyond the presupposition, and the urge
which drives towards the adoption of the new historic
form" (emphasis added, JL)
-- p. 264 in particular:
"Finally the world market. Encroachment of bourgeois
society over the state. Crises. Dissolution of the mode of
production and form of society based on exchange value.
Real positing of individual labour as social and vice versa".
In solidarity, Jerry
