Debating Agrarian Capitalism

The present article seeks to address outstanding areas of disagreement in this debate, as well as increasingly apparent differences of theoretical approach. The nature and origin of the social relationship of capital is discussed, and a provocative assertion is advanced suggesting that the commodification of land and its conversion to capital under the conditions of agrarian capitalism formed a prerequisite to the commodification of labour. In addressing the role played by pre-industrial manufacturing in the transition to capitalism it is argued that where customary law was widely extinguished through enclosures under the common law, custom in manufacturing slowed the process by which it was subsumed by capital
