Abstract

Pre-capitalist elements of production as a specificity of farming villages are a key issue in the discussion of low wages in rural areas by Marxian agricultural economists in particular. However, each researcher has a unique understanding of the specificity. This study has shown that former Marxian analyses of rural low-wage problems have assumed a perfectly competitive labor market, and researchers have focused on markets disturbed by pre-capitalist elements. Marxian agricultural economists assumed that equilibrium wage in the market was the “standard” and treated other low wages as “specific”, and concluded that the pre-capitalist elements of farming villages resulted in “specific” low wages by disturbing the perfectly competitive labor market. This study clarifies that Marxian agricultural economists have this classical or neo-classical labor market assumption and that rural labor markets have low wages even without the disturbance by pre-capitalist elements.
