<br/><br/> "One of the central features of capitalism is the oversupply of labor, a large mass of people that enter and leave the labor force according to the needs of capital. During an upswing in the business cycle, additional labor is necessary to utilize a business's full capacity. As sales slacken during a recession, workers no longer needed are then dismissed. The reserve army of labor--with brief and very unusual exceptions--is always present." (MONTHLY REVIEW) This article discusses the reserve army of labor and explains how "treating labor as a disposable and/or easily replaceable part of the production process promotes capitalism's central driving force--the never-ending drive to accumulate wealth."
