FREDERICK ENGELS () Although Marx discusses labor and machine and clearly sees how machines transform labor, it is his younger co-author, Engels, who writes most tellingly about the role of technology in the life of work and society. Engels, like Marx, predicts ever-increasing role of machine used to steal labor. 1. machinery becomes the most powerful weapon in the war of capital against the working-class 2. instruments of labor constantly tear the means of subsistence out of the hands of the laborer; very product of the worker is turned into an instrument for his subjugation. Engels maintains that machine development & production causes supply/demand problems for capitalism. Technological innovation creates an army of unemployed. 1. The perfecting of machinery is making human labor superfluous. 2. Improvement in machinery means the displacement of more and more of the machine-workers themselves. 3. Improvement in machinery means the production of a number of available wage workers in excess of the average needs of capital, the formation of a complete industrial reserve army, a regulator for keeping wages down to the low level that suits the interests of capital. An army of unemployed means fewer who can afford the goods the capitalist produces: supply of products increases but demand for products falls. 1. The overwork of some becomes the preliminary condition for the idleness of others. 2. Modern industry, which hunts after new consumers over the whole world, forces the consumption of the masses at home down to a starvation minimum. 3. And in doing thus destroys its own home market.
