This paper tries to explain why Marx has written that the twofoldnature of labor that produces commodities is “the final critical result of morethan a century and a half of research of Classical Political Economy”, a “point[that] is crucial to an understanding of political economy”, and yet “the secret ofthe whole critical conception”, question that has not been stressed as it deserves.At the same time the paper tries to evaluate if this emphasis is correct, and it concludes affirmatively: the twofold nature of labor is central to understandingmoney, capital, the contradictory effects of technical progress, and the wholecontradictory dynamics of capitalist economy.
