Publisher's Synopsis
""A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy"" is a book written by Karl Marx in 1859. It is a critical analysis of the capitalist economic system and its effects on society. Marx argues that capitalism creates social and economic inequalities that are inherent in the system. He also critiques the classical economic theories of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, arguing that their theories are based on flawed assumptions and do not accurately reflect the reality of the capitalist system. The book is divided into three parts: the first part deals with the concept of value and its relation to labor; the second part focuses on the role of money in the capitalist economy; and the third part discusses the relationship between capital and labor. Marx's analysis in this book laid the foundation for his later works, including ""Das Kapital"" and ""The Communist Manifesto."" It remains a significant work in the field of political economy and is essential reading for anyone interested in Marxist theory and the critique of capitalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
