Time In Marx: The Categories Of Time In Marx's Capital : Historical Materialism, Volume 61

Demonstrates that the basic concepts of the three volumes of Capital come under different categories of time: time of production' in the first volume 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 organisation of social time that obeys its own intrinsic criteria and operates as an autonomous, social subject. Reading Capital from this perspective, it becomes possible to restore its dialectical (Hegelian) logic.'
