meant… in all discussions respecting value … either the immediate labour of man, or the labour of the capital produced by man, or both…» ( ibidem, p . 84. nota a la nota 11)
    167. «The profits of capital are only another name for the wages of accumulated labour .» ( J. R. McCulloch «The Principles of Political Economy», Londres, 1825, página 291)
    167. [Marx recoge en algunas palabras una síntesis del pensamiento desarrollado por [509] Mullion, del siguiente modo: «most shamelessly and damnably reiterated», (v. Mortecai Mullion, «Some Illustrations of Mr. M’Culloch’s Principles of Political Economy», Edimburgo. 1826],
    167. «… this most incredible cobbler.» ( ibidem , p. 31)
    167. «… this most Economical of all the Economists…» ( ibidem , p. 66)
    167. «Mr. M’Culloch’s articles are as unlike as may be to the heavenly bodies — […] but, in one respect, they resemble such luminaries — they have stated times of return.» ( ibidem , p. 21)
    168. «… wages of accumulated labour.» ( J. R. McCulloch «The Principles of Political Economy…», Londres, 1825, p. 291)
    168. «L’auteur… énonce ainsi les craintes que la baisse des profits lui inspire. “L’apparence de prospérité que présente l’Angleterre, […] est trompeuse; la plaie de la pauvreté a atteint secrètement la masse des citoyens, et les fondement de la puissance et de la grandeur nationale ont été ébranlés… Là où le taux de l’intérêt est bas, comme en Angleterre, le taux des profits est également bas et la prospérité de la nation a dépassé le point culminant.” Ces assertions ne peuvent manquer de surprendre tous ceux qui connussent l’état brillant de l’Angleterre.» ( J. R. MacCulloch «Discours sur l’origine, les progrès, les objets particuliers, et l’importance de l’économie politique…». Traduit de l’anglais par G me Prévost, Ginebra y Paris, 1825, p. 197)
    168. «… in those cases in which the productiveness of industrie […] remains constant .» [83] ( J. R. MacCulloch «The Principles of Political Economy…», Londres, 1825, p. 373)
    168. «… profits depend on the proportion which they bear to the capital by which they are produced, and not on the proportion […] to wages.» [84] [más adelante, sintetiza Marx el pensamiento desarrollado por McCulloch (en alemán)] (ibidem, pp. 673 s .).
    169. «Treating labour as a commodity, and capital, the produce of labour, as another, then, if the value of these two commodities were regulated by equal quantities of labour, a given amount of labour would, under all circumstances, exchange for that quantity of capital which had been produced by the same amount of labour; antecedent labour […] would always exchange for the same amount of present labour . […] the [85] value of labour in relation to other commodities, in so far, at least, as wages depend upon share, is determined, net by equal quantities of labour, but by the proportion between supply and demand.» ( Edward Gibbon Wakefield in: Adam Smith «An Inquiry into Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations…», vol. I, Londres, 1835, pp. 230-231, nota)
    169. «Surplut produce […] always constitutes rent: still rent may be paid, which does not consist of surplus produce .» ( ibidem , vol. II, p. 216)
    169. «If the bulk of a people be brought to live upon potatoes, and in hovels and rags, and to pay, for permission so to live, all that they can produce beyond hovels, rags, and potatoes, then, in proportion as they put op with less, the owner of the land on which they leave, obtains more, even though the return to capital or labour should remain unaltered. What the miserable tenants give up, the landlord gathers . […] A [86] fall in the standard of living amongst the cultivators of the earth is another cause of surplus produce … When wages fall, the effect upon surplus produce is the same as a fall in the standard of living: the whole produce remaining the same, the
