Indeed, a very sad sight to see, that the wealth of knowledge contained in Volume II of Capital is captivated by a mere sentence or two and that not a single individual in all of wikipedia spent the smallest amount of time articulating the main ideas of the marketplace found in volume 2: how value and surplus-value are realized. Its dramatis personae, not so much the worker and the industrial (as in Volume I), but rather the money owner (and money lender), the wholesale merchant, the trader and the entrepreneur or 'functioning capitalist.' Moreover, workers appear in Volume II, essentially as buyers of consumer goods and, therefore, as sellers of the commodity labour power, rather than producers of value and surplus-value (although, this latter quality, established in Volume I, remains the solid foundation on which the whole of the unfolding analysis is based). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.58.132.193 (talk) 19:41, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
