The Manuscript begins
Three points need to be considered in this chapter:
1) Commodities as the product of capital, of capitalist production;
2) Capitalist production is the production of surplus value;
3) Finally, it is the production and reproduction of the whole relation through which this direct production process is characterised as specifically capitalist.
Of these 3 headings, No. 1 should be placed last, not first, in the final revision before printing, since it forms the transition to the second book — the circulation process of capital. But for the sake of convenience we shall begin with it here.
