Wage Labour And Capital (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419192975)

Wage Labour and Capital is a book written by Karl Marx that explores the relationship between laborers and capitalists in a capitalist economy. Marx argues that the capitalist system exploits workers by paying them wages that are lower than the value of the goods and services they produce. This leads to a class struggle between the working class and the capitalist class. The book also discusses the concept of surplus value, which is the difference between the value of the goods produced by workers and the wages paid to them. Marx argues that this surplus value is the source of profit for capitalists. Wage Labour and Capital is considered an important work in Marxist theory and provides insight into the exploitation of workers in a capitalist economy.The interests of the capitalist and those of the worker are, therefore, one and the same, assert the bourgeois and their economists. Indeed! The worker perishes if capital does not employ him. Capital perishes if it does not exploit labour power, and in order to exploit it, it must buy it. The faster capital intended for production, productive capital, increases, the more, therefore, industry prospers, the more the bourgeoisie enriches itself and the better business is, the more workers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
