Karl Marx
Originally delivered as a speech in 1865, Value, Price and Profit presents Karl Marx’s analysis of wages, labor exploitation, and the mechanics of profit under capitalism. In this concise yet powerful work, Marx explains the labor theory of value, the impact of wage suppression, and the inevitability of class struggle within the economic system. Essential reading for those interested in political economy and socialist thought, this work remains a foundational text in the critique of capitalism.
