workers/temporarily unemployed/permanently unemployable/formerly employed
the world market is, with regard to its immanent dynamics, 'a space in which everyone has once been a productive labourer, and in which labour has everywhere begun to price itself out of the system'
on higher productivity resulting in more unemployment, which should be a blessing but is instead a curse (drift?)
he uses this word about a million times later on
