Preferred term

mode of production  

Definition

  • In the terminology of Marxism, the mode of production means the way of producing. This is a combination of the forces of production (or the raw materials, human labor power, tools, technology, and improved land that constitute a society's productive capacity) and the social relations of production (or the property, power and class relations, legal frameworks, and forms of association that govern how production takes place).
