Publisher's Synopsis
Historical Materialism and the Economics of Karl Marx is a comprehensive work by Italian philosopher and historian Benedetto Croce. The book delves into the economic theories of Karl Marx, specifically his concept of historical materialism. Croce examines Marx's ideas on the relationship between economic and social structures throughout history, and how these structures shape the development of society.Croce's analysis of Marx's economic theories includes a detailed examination of the labor theory of value, surplus value, and the role of capitalism in shaping economic relations. He also explores Marx's ideas on the class struggle and the role of the proletariat in bringing about a socialist revolution.Throughout the book, Croce provides a critical analysis of Marx's ideas, highlighting both their strengths and weaknesses. He also offers his own insights and critiques, drawing on his own background in philosophy and history.Overall, Historical Materialism and the Economics of Karl Marx is a thought-provoking and insightful work for anyone interested in Marxist economics and the history of economic thought.The economic axiom is a very general and purely a formal principle of conduct. It is inconceivable that anyone should act without applying, well or ill, the very principle of every action, i.e., the economic principle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
