Karl Marx. Capital Vol One Ch6

The buying and selling of labor power

In order to make a profit on products labor itself must be considered a commodity. It can be bought and sold. It is generally the amount needed to keep the laborer alive an able to produce the commodity he labors on.

In this way the business man owns the money. He would not consider himself a commodity but only the money he owns. The worker on the other hand is a commodity.
