Would we want to object to characterizing Marx's "Capital" as a genealogy of
a factory? Remember Foucault's comment that science can't stand to hear its
own history told and compare that to Marx's section on the blood-drenched
history of capital accumulation. But in addition to the historical stuff,
Marx does a fine analysis of what happens on the factory floor in the
confrontation between owner of means and owners of labor.
