allow us to identify the forms of peasant production units
found in the agrarian sector of the north Jordan Valley. In
the first instance I will consider these social relations
from the way they are actually entailed in the process of
production proper, in terms of two elements which - as [I have
already argued in chapter two - allow us to identify modes of
production. These are, first, the ownership and control of
the means of production, and, second, the form of
appropriation of the economic surplus produced in the
production process. These relations of production determine
actors location in economic class relationships and are
conventionally defined in terms of the ownership and control
of the means of production and the mode of appropriation of
surplus labour or surplus product -— also referred to as
economic exploitation. (1) Thus economic classes are normally
defined in terms of economic exploitation in the sphere of
