The material-production approach on the whole also
remains obligatory. However, it does undergo substantial changes and restrictions. In the first place, the process of production is not an a priori given quantity • To be more precise: whereas in ‘normal’ periods of social development, the process of social reproduction is taken for granted and the continuous renewal of the elements of production in the course of that production is assumed during the transition period, with the shaking up of the entire socio-labour apparatus, the process of reproduction is called into question. Therefore, the problem here reads not ‘how is production possible?’ but ‘is production possible’ ? The same thing with regard to the productive forces can be expressed in the following way: if, in normal times, the development of the productive forces was the latent [or underlying] premise of all theoretical judgments, now the question must also be raised both of the possibility of their being stationary and also of the possibility of their catastrophic decline.
