Marx was setting up the argument to refute what Smith and Ricardo had postulated for so long: Labour was just another factor in production. Land, Labour and Capital.
Marx had some revolutionary thoughts on Labour, and the value of that labour. It did not coincide with the standard economic thought at the time. He therefore set up his theory very carefully, when talking about the nature of production, and man's place in the economy.
