Length114h 46m
About this audiobook
The Marxian Economics presents a rigorous anatomy of capitalist production, tracing how commodities, value, wages, profit, and accumulation arise from historically specific social relations. Its style is analytic and polemical, combining philosophical argument with empirical observation and a dialectical movement from appearances to underlying structures. Written against classical political economy, especially Smith and Ricardo, it redirects economic inquiry toward exploitation, surplus value, class conflict, and the recurring crises of industrial capitalism. Karl Marx, German philosopher, economist, and revolutionary socialist, wrote amid the upheavals of nineteenth-century Europe and during long exile in London. His journalism, political organizing, and collaboration with Friedrich Engels sharpened his attention to workers' conditions and the worldwide expansion of capital. Years of research in the British Museum enabled him to turn moral outrage into a systematic critique of economic laws that seemed natural but were, for him, historical and changeable. This volume is indispensable for readers seeking the foundations of socialist thought, modern critiques of inequality, and debates over labor, markets, and power. Demanding but rewarding, it suits students of economics, history, philosophy, and political theory who want more than technical models: a sweeping interpretation of capitalism's origins, dynamism, contradictions, and possible transformation.
