I had written: Is capital in general merely the set of attributes common to all capitals; is it the general heading for all capitalists; is it the name of the social relation by which all capitals are constrained; is capital in general itself a real individual? I have argued for the last. I think Chris Arthur is arguing for the last too since when I made my argument here he reminded me that he had developed the argument in his forthcoming book.
