Abstract
The division of labor … is based on the natural division of labor in the family and the separation of society into individual families opposed to one another. is given simultaneously … the unequal distribution … of labor and its products, hence property … the first form of which lies in the family. where wife and children are the slaves of the husband. This latent slavery in the family, though still very crude, is the first property, but even at this early stage it corresponds perfectly to the definition of modern economists who call it the power of disposing of the labor power of others.
