workers of the metropolitan foreign-owned industry indirectly benefits from
surplus value created by the workers employed in the production of basic
consumer goods. This fact allows for the lowering of the relative rate of
exploitation of the Western segment of the proletariat without lowering the
actual rate of profit. This is an illustration of how both "labor aristo-
cracy" and super-profit co-exist in the economy at large.
It is following this analytical logic that we have concluded the above
ranking; and that we try further to identify who tends to belong to the
"labor aristocracy" and who tends to be victimized by super-profit.
Second in this hierarchy comes co-operative (kibbutz and Histadrut)
capital. It is increasingly merging with foreign capital; predominant in
the kibbutz, veteran towns and moshav shitoufi; associated mainly with the
early settlers and their Israeli-born generation, and with heavy industry
and skilled labor. Within this cluster of relationships and by the rate of
exploitation, this sector ranks as second-highest in the capital hierarchy,
as its rate of exploitation is the second-lowest in the country. The fact
that the rate of exploitation in the co-operative sector is lower than that
of other State and local private capital, yet higher than in employment by
foreign capital, can be explained in the following terms:
(a) Because a large portion of the labor force belongs to forms of
habitat where subsistence cost is relatively low, owing to their co-opera-
tive or communal organization and/or subsidies from the public sector.
This is as far as simple reproduction of labor power is concerned:
(b) Unlike the case in foreign capital-owned industries, the training
of this labor force and the generational reproduction of its labor power
is predominantly endogenous, not exogenous, to the system.
