Kapitalisme: Perbedaan antara revisi

'''Kapitalisme''' adalah sebuah hal[[mode produksi]] yang bertujuan untuk meraih keuntungan sebesar-besarnya dengan biaya produksi sekecil-kecilnya. Minimalisasi biaya produksi dicapai dengan cara menekan upah pekerja.<ref>Chris Jenks. ''Core Sociological Dichotomies''. "Capitalism, as a mode of production, is an economic system of manufacture and exchange which is geared toward the production and sale of commodities within a market for profit, where the manufacture of commodities consists of the use of the formally free labor of workers in exchange for a wage to create commodities in which the manufacturer extracts surplus value from the labor of the workers in terms of the difference between the wages paid to the worker and the value of the commodity produced by him/her to generate that profit."
