social relations of production

Social relations of production refer to the relationships and interactions people have in the context of economic activities, particularly how they contribute to and benefit from the production of goods and services. This concept emphasizes the roles of different groups (like workers, owners, and consumers) and how their positions affect power dynamics, wealth distribution, and social structures within society. Understanding these relations helps clarify how economic systems function and how they impact people's lives and communities, shaping issues like class, labor rights, and social equity.
