Understand how production, machines, and investment shape jobs, wages, and recurring economic crises.
In accessible terms, this book explains how capitalism ties together factories, capital, and the labor force. It shows how the pursuit of surplus value drives technological change, longer workdays, and shifts in who does the work.
The discussion moves from the rise of the factory and the division of labor to the large-scale dynamics of capital, competition, and state power. It connects everyday work with broad forces like investment cycles, monopolies, and even militarism, offering a framework to see why crises and unemployment recur.
Ideal for readers curious about the economic forces behind modern work, business cycles, and social change.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book originates from the work of Karl Marx and his chief collaborator, Friedrich Engels. The main focus of the text lies in exploring the intricacies of the capitalist mode of production, as well as the struggles inherent within it. The author's perspective delves into the heart of an economic system defined by ceaseless production for the sole purpose of profit accumulation. This pursuit frequently results in class conflict between the owners of capital and the working class, whose labor is exploited to generate surplus value. The book's overarching themes center around the concepts of value, exploitation, and alienation within a capitalist society. By providing an incisive analysis of the inner workings of capitalism, this book illuminates the mechanisms that shape the dynamics of an economic system that remains highly relevant in the contemporary world.
