The Mode of Production refers to the specific way in which a society organizes the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It encompasses the Means of Production (tools, machines, land, and technology) and the Relations of Production (social and technical relationships between workers and those who control the means of production). This concept is fundamental in Marxist theory, which posits that changes in the mode of production are the primary drivers of historical development and social change.
