| | Means of Production - encyclopedia article about Means of Production. |
 | | Means of production are the productive assets which are inputs in a production process | | | The most significant feature of capitalism, in the Marxist analysis, is the fact that the ruling class monopolizes the means of protection, thus of property law enforcement, which keeps the financial capital valuable and convertible into the means of production (all other forms of capital). | | | The bourgeoisie, meanwhile, comprises people who own and trade in means of production as capital assets, and who hire workers to work for them, using those means of production. |

| | Therefore I treat this article as a bit of a guide to those newer theories, and make clear the way that a "means" employed by the individual worker or work team must be differentiated from a "factor" in an abstract analysis of a proces from the top down. | | | Marx's analysis is mostly of historical interest now, but many of those who follow him in feminist, green, and labor circles are of increasing influence. | | | Even the phrase 'factors of production' tends to get Marxists angry so they might not like the way that I have characterized means *as* factors. |
