Well I have to look for it on the web ... Contents (accent markings not easily available to me and thus missing): PREMIERE PARTIE: Lutte de classes et developpement des forces productives: La problematique du "Capital" Introduction 1. La conception revisionniste du role et de la nature du development des forces productives 2. Le statut du concept de forces productives dans la problematiques de Marx. De la "Preface" de 1859 au "Capital". 3. Reproduction, lutte de classes et development des forces productives dans le mode de productive capitalists: la devalorisation de la force de travail 4. Lutte de classes dans la production et devalorisation du capital: critiques des theories de la "suraccumulation de capital" 5. La resistance du capital a la devalorisation DEUXIEME PARTIE: Production et progress technique dans la theorie economique bourgeoise Introduction 1. Le progres technique, "deus ex machina" de l'ideologie economique contemporaine 2. Tentatives d'analyse des determinants du progres technique dans une economie capitaliste CONCLUSION GENERALE In my judgment, one could spend a lifetime on the production of relative surplus value, the evaluation/devaluation of constant capital, and the implications for a overall rate of profit, even apart from unproductive labor (which is not to say that the latter is not an important consideration). I repeat my belief that Magaline is a great starting point.
