]]> The particular form of capitalism that emerged in the 19th century from the earlier, mercantilist system. Industrial capitalism was the most mature form of capitalism at the time of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, but it has been superseded by capitalist-imperialism as a generalized mode of production (see imperialism).

]]> A mode of production distinguished by the distribution of land in fiefs or feods, agricultural production, serfs tied to the land.
 
In essence, the feudal mode of production was reliant on the concentration of land into large estates held by feudatories – landholders of an enormous scale – and the prevalence of the so-called “feudal contract” through which landholders permitted use of their land in exchange for a portion of the goods produced or some other “tax in kind.”

]]> A mode of production that underlies the modern capitalist economic model. Commodity production is an economic relation that relies on:
 
1. the existence of wage labor;
 
2. the private ownership of the means of production;
 
3. a state-sanctioned market for exchange.
 
Under commodity production, products are made not for use (use value) but rather to make a profit (surplus value). The defining feature of commodity production is that the workers make things they do not need in exchange for a wage which allows them to purchase the things they require to survive.

]]> A mode of production in which the private ownership of the means of production predominates, and under which the only logic of production is the generation of profit AKA surplus value. Capitalism is typified by the logic of capital and it is dominated by commodity production.

The three primary classes of capitalism are: the bourgeoisie, the petit-bourgeoisie, and the proletariat.
 
The capitalist mode of production can be expressed as M-C-M’ (production), C-M-C (circulation), and M-C (consumption) where M = money, C = commodity, and M’ = money increased.
