doubly free definition

doubly free. . This means that they must be free to enter into a wage-labor contract, unimpeded by obligations to feudal lords or communitarian social relations such as those to a tribe or a family. They must also be free of the means of subsistence –in short, ‘free’ to be hungry and in want unless they enter wage-labor contracts, however low the wage. The ‘doubly free’ character of labor power is, according to Marx, the ‘secret’ of ‘Primitive’ Accumulation and necessary for the transition to capitalism.
