Value, Price, and Profit

Exploring the economic foundations of capitalism, this work presents Karl Marx's critique of classical political economy. Originally delivered as a speech, it delves into the concepts of value, price, and profit, challenging the views of prominent economists like Adam Smith and David Ricardo. By analyzing the dynamics of capitalist production, Marx aims to uncover the underlying economic patterns that shape society, positioning himself as a pivotal figure in 19th-century social theory and political philosophy.
