Example

Obgleich er zugeben mußte, daß im östlichen, größten Teile Rußlands die Rente noch gleich Null sei, daß der Arbeitslohn für neun Zehntel der sich auf achtzig Millionen belaufenden Bevölkerung Rußlands nur im eigenen Lebensunterhalt bestehe und daß ein Kapital bisher nur in Gestalt der einfachsten Arbeitsgeräte vorhanden sei, so betrachtete er dennoch jeden Arbeiter nur von diesem Gesichtspunkte aus.Though he had to admit that in the Eastern and greater part of Russia rents were still nil, that wages? for nine-tenths of the eighty millions of the Russian population? represented only sustenance for themselves, and that capital did not yet exist except in the form of most primitive tools yet he regarded every labourer merely from that one point of view, though on many points he disagreed with the economists and had his own theory of wages, which he explained to Levin.OP943048
