Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to critically analyze the concept of mode of pro-duction (MoP). The author points out three problems with the existing approaches:1) MoP is a theory of the state, 2) underestimating reproduction over production,and 3) understanding production as the production of commodities – treatingWealth as wealth and undervaluing the production of people in favor of the produc-tion of things, commodities. After reviewing the key approaches to MoP, the authordevelops each of the aforementioned problems in order to be able to ask the titlequestions, as well as to try to sketch out possible solutions to each of the problems.
