Wage Labour and Capital is a book written by Karl Marx, the famous philosopher, economist, and sociologist. The book is a collection of lectures delivered by Marx in 1847, which were later published as a pamphlet. In this book, Marx explores the relationship between workers, capitalists, and the economy.Marx argues that capitalism is based on the exploitation of workers, who are forced to sell their labor power to capitalists for a wage. The capitalists, in turn, use this labor power to produce goods and services, which they sell for a profit. Marx contends that this system creates a fundamental conflict between workers and capitalists, as the latter seek to maximize profits by paying workers as little as possible, while the former struggle to earn a decent living wage.The book also delves into the nature of capital, the role of technology in the economy, and the importance of class struggle in shaping society. Marx argues that the only way to achieve true economic justice is through the abolition of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist society.Wage Labour and Capital is a foundational text in Marxist theory and has had a profound influence on social and political movements around the world. It remains a vital read for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of capitalism and the struggle for workers' rights.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.
