18 In the specific case of British capitalist development, Marx shows how the severe competition between capitalists, the development of colonial and other external markets, the factory legislation (fought for by the working class), and other factors led to the decline of manufacture, handicrafts and the so-called domestic industry in their confrontation with production by machinery.

8 * The point made here highlights also the distinction between the concept of a ^ode of nroduction* and that of the 'social formation.' At the level of the mode of production, one can theoretically specify its tendencies (for instance, in relation to division of labour), but the historical working out of these tendencies and their counter-tendencies takes place within the concrete social formation, and thus the conjuncture enters as one of the determining elements.
