Superprofit
Superprofit, surplus profit or extra surplus-value (extra-Mehrwert) is a concept in Karl Marx's critique of political economy subsequently elaborated by Vladimir Lenin and other Marxist thinkers. The term superprofit (extra surplus-value) was first used by Marx in Das Kapital. It refers to above-average enterprise profits, arising in three main situations: Technologically advanced firms operating at above average productivity in a competitive growing market.
Production
La production est l'action d'un sujet qui transforme une matière première pour faire exister un nouvel objet. On rencontre ce phénomène de production dans la société, mais aussi bien dans la nature. C'est pourquoi on peut l'étudier soit sous l'angle économique et sociologique, soit sous l'angle biologique. Le terme « production » dérive du latin classique qui signifie « prolonger, mettre en avant ». Dans l'Antiquité, il désigne aussi bien les créations de la nature (l'arbre producteur de fruits) que celles de l'homme (l'artisan producteur d'objets utiles).
Profit
Le profit est le gain financier obtenu d'une opération économique : typiquement, la différence entre le revenu de la vente d'un produit et le coût de sa production en investissement de capital et salaires versés ; mais l'intérêt obtenu d'un prêt est rarement inclus dans la notion de profit puisqu'il est partie intégrante du coût de l'investissement en capital. Selon l'étendue que l'on donne à la notion, il peut s'agir également d'un gain commercial ou encore du revenu de la location pour le propriétaire d'un bien immobilier ou d'équipement.
Consumption of fixed capital
Consumption of fixed capital (CFC) is a term used in business accounts, tax assessments and national accounts for depreciation of fixed assets. CFC is used in preference to "depreciation" to emphasize that fixed capital is used up in the process of generating new output, and because unlike depreciation it is not valued at historic cost but at current market value (so-called "economic depreciation"); CFC may also include other expenses incurred in using or installing fixed assets beyond actual depreciation charges.
Surplus labour
Surplus labour (German: Mehrarbeit) is a concept used by Karl Marx in his critique of political economy. It means labour performed in excess of the labour necessary to produce the means of livelihood of the worker ("necessary labour"). The "surplus" in this context means the additional labour a worker has to do in their job, beyond earning their keep. According to Marxian economics, surplus labour is usually uncompensated (unpaid) labour.
Value product
The value product (VP) is an economic concept formulated by Karl Marx in his critique of political economy during the 1860s, and used in Marxian social accounting theory for capitalist economies. Its annual monetary value is approximately equal to the netted sum of six flows of income generated by production: wages and salaries of employees. profit including distributed and undistributed profit. interest paid by producing enterprises from current gross income rent paid by producing enterprises from current gross income, including land rents.
Faux frais of production
Faux frais of production is a concept used by classical political economists and by Karl Marx in his critique of political economy. It refers to "incidental operating expenses" incurred in the productive investment of capital, which do not themselves add new value to output. In Marx's social accounting, the faux frais are a component of constant capital, or alternately are funded by a fraction of the new surplus value. When owners of capital invest in production, they do not just invest in labor power, materials, buildings and equipment (or means of production).
Productive and unproductive labour
Productive and unproductive labour are concepts that were used in classical political economy mainly in the 18th and 19th centuries, which survive today to some extent in modern management discussions, economic sociology and Marxist or Marxian economic analysis. The concepts strongly influenced the construction of national accounts in the Soviet Union and other Soviet-type societies (see Material Product System).
System of National Accounts
The System of National Accounts (often abbreviated as SNA; formerly the United Nations System of National Accounts or UNSNA) is an international standard system of national accounts, the first international standard being published in 1953. Handbooks have been released for the 1968 revision, the 1993 revision, and the 2008 revision. For a brief historical summary of the revisions, see e.g.
Consommation intermédiaire
Les consommations intermédiaires (CI) sont l'ensemble des biens et services (généralement achetés à d'autres entreprises) qui sont détruits ou transformés lors du processus de production ou incorporés au produit. Elles sont très souvent nécessaires à la production. Ainsi, une entreprise produisant du mobilier a besoin de bois (matière première incorporée dans le produit), d'électricité pour assurer le fonctionnement des machines (dépenses d'énergie, détruite au moment de la production) et des services comptables qui disparaîtront également.
