Dan: Amazingly prescient quote, isn’t it? Interesting use of the word “technology” in a quote dated 1867. What sort of “technology” or “technologies” do you suppose Marx was referring to? Toaster ovens? BMW 5 Series autos? Laptops? You just don’t get the sense that the word “technology” is antediluvian when it comes to our favorite 19th century German econo-revolutionary.
I’d also be curious to see the cite specifying the page and paragraph where this quote is found in Das Kapital.
