# Productive Powers of Labour — raises — Profits of Stock

## Subject

Productive Powers of Labour

## Predicate

raises

## Object

Profits of Stock

## Relation Type

produces

## VSM Channel

S1 → S3 (operational productivity surplus allocated as profit at capital management level)

## Evidence

Book I, Chapter 6: "The value which the workmen add to the materials
resolves itself into two parts, of which the one pays their wages, the
other the profits of their employer upon the whole stock of materials
and wages which he advanced."

## Feedback Role

**Capital Accumulation loop (positive/reinforcing):**
Accumulation of Stock → enables → Division of Labour → increases →
Productive Powers of Labour → raises → Profits of Stock → funds →
Accumulation of Stock.

This edge (raises) is the surplus-extraction link: the productivity gain
produced by specialisation shows up as profit over and above wage costs,
generating the fund from which further accumulation occurs.
