Abstract: there are three forms of service industry which will be investigated: that which converts raw capital into finished, that which provides the finished, and that which works irrelevant to commodities.
There has been some questions raised by bourgeois economists about Marxist Economics' relevance in today's society. That the production industry is replaced with that of the service, and that disqualifies the Marxist School of Economics and all theories thereof. But what is a service? Bourgeois economists define this as "an industry that provides services rather than tangible objects, for example doctors, waiters, etc." We must investigate these three types.
The first form is that which converts raw capital into finished commodities. For example, a barber's customer provides hair, the barber turns this hair into cut hair with his labor. This is akin to the production industry with several exceptions: firstly, the workers are lumpenproletarians; secondly, the business is not regulated the same way a production factory is(i.e. a factory can produce 3000 comodities per hour, but one cannot force 3000 people to get their hair cut per hour, the customers come as they please); thirdly, the wages as a result of the second must be paid per person served or an average of how many customers per year divided by the number of days open multiplied by the number of hours worked by the laborer to the negative first power[revenue/(hours worked by laborer multiplied by number of days worked)], the former formula is most effecient when dealing with this sort of industries. The latter is the least way. But, why is the lumpenproles working this industry? They are still victim to wage-slavery, but not producing commodities as dictated from the bourgeois. This classifies them to the direct whims of the market, as opposed to the indirect of the proles.
The second form is the McJob proles. By this I mean they provide a commodity for sale, often times a commodity which is consumable[i.e. food], but not limited to market jobs. This is always deals with a necessity of one form or another, however no one illustrates such a point as the McWorkers do. The McWorker provides a burger and drink, then cleans the mess up afterwards. This market is ussually more predictable than the first one; as this deals wtih necessities as opposed to luxuries. That allows this market to have per hour wages. Another example of this sector is the gas meter reader, s/he checks the necessities consummed. Although this does nto "provide" a necessity, s/he checks the amount of necessity consumed to tally the cost thereof. S/he is nothing more than a mobile checker.
The third(and final) sector is the lumpen-labor aristocracy. This includes, but is not limited to, the doctors, lawyers, etc. Those who are paid disproportionately for what they do. That is, in relation to what others do, a lawyer doesn't do nearly as much and makes several fold more than that previous laborer. They are still "workers" per se, but they are lumpen labor aristocrats.
To sum up, the service industry is basically the production industry involving varying degrees of bourgeois intervention to provide raw capital, be it provided by the customer or not; and if so, if it be physical or not. This is the basic premise of the service industry.
Questions, comments, snide remarks?
