Commodity production and exchange have become a common form, and labor has also become a commodity. Pursuing surplus value is the absolute law of capitalist production.

Extended information:

Capitalist countries were established after the bourgeois revolution against the feudal system, and it was the result that capitalist relations of production adapted to the development of productive forces to replace those in feudal society. Capitalist relations of production are mainly capitalist ownership of the means of production. Capitalists possess the means of production and use it to exploit and sell the hired workers, which is the economic foundation of capitalist society.

The opposition between the administrative authorities and the managed people, which are dominant in the socio-economic and production relations, is the main contradiction in capitalist society. With the development of capitalist economy, although the strata within the two classes have changed, they have not changed as the main contradiction of capitalist society. The essence of capitalist countries is the political rule of the bourgeoisie over the proletariat.
