(Redirected from Rate of surplus value)
Rate of exploitation, also known as rate of surplus-value, is the ratio surplus value to variable capital. The higher the surplus value is relative to the variable capital spent, the higher the rate of exploitation becomes. Surplus value divided by variable capital equals rate of exploitation.
