The better shaped his product, the more misshapen the worker.

The alienation of man thus appeared as the fundamental evil of capitalist society.

Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.

Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer.

In proportion as capital accumulates, the lot of the laborer, be his payment high or low, must grow worse.

Be aware that the reward for labour, and quantity of labour, are quite disparate things.
