It pronounces Marx's logic in that tome a sham of a particularly convoluted and impenetrable kind. His opaque language, his eccentric approach to \"science,\" and his abstruse metaphysical arguments produce a text that is portentous and impressive-sounding, while being ambiguous and nearly incomprehensible. \u003ci\u003eMarx's Sophistries\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to identify the non sequiturs and logical fallacies by which Marx constructs his argument. Step by step and point by point, it challenges the assumptions and deductions by which Marx reaches his main conclusion: that capitalism is corrupt in its essential nature, and that capitalists gain wealth not by any legitimate means, but by appropriating unpaid \"surplus value\" from the working masses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Eubank\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1981855769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781981855766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Lawrence Eubank","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881169539327,"sku":"9781981855766","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a05ac4db-6272-4815-b7ec-0078225935ec.jpg?v=1747970885","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marxs-sophistries-lawrence-eubank-9781981855766","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
