Wage Labour and Capital

Wage Labour and Capital by Karl Marx<br/>First presented as a series of lectures in 1847, Wage Labour and Capital is one of Karl Marx’s most influential and accessible works. In this concise yet powerful text, Marx explains the foundations of his economic theory, focusing on the relationship between workers and employers, the nature of wages, profit, and capital, and the systemic exploitation at the heart of capitalism.<br/>Unlike a dry academic treatise, Marx’s analysis is written in clear, forceful language, making complex economic ideas understandable for a wide audience. He exposes how labour is turned into a commodity, why workers remain trapped in cycles of dependency, and how the pursuit of profit drives inequality and instability.<br/>This edition is an essential introduction for anyone interested in political economy, social history, or the origins of Marxist thought. More than 170 years after its first publication, Wage Labour and Capital continues to challenge, inspire, and provide critical insight into the workings of modern society.<br/>Perfect for readers of philosophy, history, economics, and political science.
