A Contribution To The Critique Of Political Economy - Karl Marx - Bog

""A Contribution To The Critique Of Political Economy"" is a seminal work by the German philosopher and economist Karl Marx. Published in 1859, the book is considered to be one of the most important contributions to Marxist theory, and is a key text in the development of socialist and communist thought.The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of political economy. The first part is dedicated to the analysis of the commodity and the value-form, and lays the groundwork for Marx's theory of surplus value. The second part focuses on the transformation of money into capital, and the role of labor in the production process. The third and final part of the book is dedicated to the critique of classical political economy, and the development of Marx's own theory of capitalist exploitation.Throughout the book, Marx argues that the capitalist mode of production is inherently exploitative, and that the accumulation of wealth by the capitalist class is made possible only through the exploitation of the working class. He also critiques the classical economic theories of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, arguing that their theories fail to account for the role of labor in the production process.Overall, ""A Contribution To The Critique Of Political Economy"" is a complex and challenging work that continues to have a profound impact on political and economic theory to this day. It is essential reading for anyone interested in Marxist theory, and is widely regarded as one of the most important works of political economy ever written.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
