I: 275. 62. Similarly, Pierre Bourdieu’s description of the academic and cultural intelligentsia as ‘the dominated fraction of the dominating class’ may be justified in Marxian terms by reference to its activity as a sort of class-wide household servitors of the bourgeoisie. The homology between their position and that of bourgeois housewives might be taken to explain their traditional gendering as feminine by comparison to the masculinity of business and financial managers. It also goes far to explain the relation of cultural to economic capital: it is not their incomes, high in relation to those of most wage earners but mostly not based on capital-ownership, that set cultural producers in the dominant class; it is their class function that is signalled by the award of relatively high income or, when this is not convenient (as with an increasing majority of academics) of status.
The owner of capital, as just observed, is in a position to appropriate that part of the product made with it – translated into money terms – that exceeds the reproduction requirements of the producers. ’22 Alternatively expressed, each capitalist ascribes to the productive virtue of his individual capital the amount he manages to obtain from the surplus labour of employed workers. This appearance is all the more convincing because the amount of profit extracted by each capital does not in fact depend on the surplus production of the workers it employs but is drawn in a complex way from the surplus labour performed for the totality of capitalist employers.
57 The power of this approach is visible in its ability to assimilate social groupings outside the definitions basic to the theory of surplus-value. Surplus-value is appropriated not only by the industrial capitalists in whose enterprises it is produced but also by commercial and financial capitalists and owners of natural resources. Commerce and finance are, Marx explains, necessary aspects of capitalist activity, involving as it does the sale of commodities and the handling of money; just as ‘money capital, commodity capital, and productive capital … do not denote independent varieties of capital’ but ‘simply particular functional forms of industrial capital, which takes all three forms in turn’,58 the specialization of these functions in specific enterprises does not create a new social class, but further divisions (in addition to those due to industrial competition) within the class of exploiters.
