| | Capital Vol. I — Chapter Seventeen |
 | | Since the value in which a day's labour is embodied, increases with the length of that day, it is evident that the surplus-value and the price of labour-power may simultaneously increase, either by equal or unequal quantities. | | | It is, however, possible that, owing to an increase of productiveness, both the labourer and the capitalist may simultaneously be able to appropriate a greater quantity of these necessaries, without any change in the price of labour-power or in surplus-value. | | | The value of labour-power is determined by the value of the necessaries of life habitually required by the average labourer. |

| | But an increase in the productiveness of labour in those branches of industry which supply neither the necessaries of life nor the means of production for such necessaries, leaves the value of labour power undisturbed. | | | The cheapened commodity, of course, causes only a pro tanto fall in the value of labour power, a fall proportional to the extent of that commodity's employment in the reproduction of labour power. | | | Whenever an individual capitalist cheapens shirts, for instance, by increasing the productiveness of labour, he by no means necessarily aims at reducing the value of labour power and shortening, pro tanto, the necessary labour-time. |

| | The quantitative aspect of that act of measuring the labour of one against the labour of another is the determination of value. | | | The labour of an animal or a slave and equally that of a distant foreigner is consumed as such, adding value according to the cost of acquiring it, and does not create labour. | | | The labour theory of value is the proposition that the value of a commodity is equal the quantity of socially necessary labour-time required for its production. |

| | The Labour Party came to power in the general election of July 1945, with its first overall majority. | | | In spite of the reforming enthusiasm and experience of many members of prime minister Clement Attlee's cabinet, however, this was still an era of austerity, as the devastating economic impact of the war became evident. | | | The best remembered achievements of the Labour period include the founding of the National Health Service in 1946, and the nationalisation of many industries including coal in 1946, electricity in 1947 and the railways in 1948. |
