the specific analytic task in our era remains
the task since the 16th century
understanding contemporary capitalist exploitation
general discussions of the present extent or changing extent (increasing ) of inequality
combine not only the unequalizing dynamic of the capitalist mode of exploitation
with all earlier modes that may still co-exist in the contemporary total social formation
but with the various other unequalizing factors
like genes family luck etc
that will operate in a commodity based society of any sort
many of these unfair advantages and dis advantages
are more congenial to bourgeois ethicists "attacks"
then capitalist exploitation itself
