Wage Labour and Capital is a book written by the renowned German philosopher and economist, Karl Marx. In this book, Marx explores the relationship between wage labor and capital, which he argues is the fundamental dynamic driving capitalist societies.Marx begins by examining the nature of labor and the role of the worker in capitalist production. He argues that the worker is forced to sell their labor power to the capitalist class in order to survive, and that this relationship is inherently exploitative.Marx then goes on to explore the role of capital in this relationship, arguing that capital is the driving force behind the accumulation of wealth in capitalist societies. He argues that capital is able to extract surplus value from the labor of workers, which is then reinvested to create even more wealth.Throughout the book, Marx provides a detailed critique of capitalist economics and the way that it perpetuates inequality and exploitation. He argues that the only way to truly address these issues is through a fundamental transformation of society, in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the workers themselves.Overall, Wage Labour and Capital is a powerful and thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between labor and capital in capitalist societies, and remains an important work in Marxist theory to this day.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.
