Exploitative Techniques

According to Ruyle,[1] exploitative techniques are the "precise instrumentalities through which economic surplus is pumped out of the direct producers" It includes "slavery, plunder, tribute, rent, taxation, usury, ... various forms of unequal exchange" and, we should add, the Stock Market. The term is syncretic with the LP term Mechanisms of Accumulation.
