Marx’s Mode of production (MoP)
MoP = Forces of Production+ Relations of Production
Forces of Production [FoP] = means of productions (tools, machines, factories) + labour
power (skills, knowledge and experience)
Relations of Production [RoP] = Constituted by pattern of economic ownership of means
of production
 So, MoP = Forces of Production [FoP =means of productions(tools, machines,
factories)+labour power (skills, knowledge and experience)] + Relations of
Production [RoP=pattern of economic ownership of means of production]
Man’s search for improvement development of forces of productioncontradiction
between Forces of Production & Relations of Production breakdown in the Mode Of
Productionnew MoP...perfect society
