A p. 810-812: Appendix: Excerpt from K. Marx Capital, New York, 1977, 1: 617-19
Abstract:
'Recent decades have seen renewed interests in the historical effects of technology on skill requirements. Marx's name figures prominently in the research as a theorist and prophet of the dehumanizaiton and deskilling of work under capitalism ... This article argues that distinguishing more carefully between theory and polemic in Marx's writing and between short-term process and long-term trends in Marx's theory reveals the posiblility of a quite different reading.'
