Assignment:
On page 344 Marx writes "Hence, in the history of capitalist production, the establishment of a norm for the working day presents itself as a struggle over the limits of that day, a struggle between collective capital, i.e. the class of capitalists, and collective labor, i.e. working class."
• How is the length of the work day the site of class conflict?
• Marx believed that theory without history is empty and history without theory lacks meaning. How does the chapter "The Working Day" illustrate the interdependence of theory and history?
