That’s a good point, do you know how one might phrase or introduce it? I feel like just using the word ‘economy’ makes people think of something nebulous (it’s the invisible hand of the free market, don’t ya know? how does it work? in mYsTeRiOuS wAyS) and the vocabulary I’d use to try to explain or express what the productive forces are also kinda seems out of place.
I always throw a “historical and dialectical materialism” by stalin recommendation. There is a section that clearly explains why production is the chief determinant force in development, what are the productive forces (tools+people) and what are the relations of production.
