About this audiobook
Your Boss Says You Can't Have a Raise. This Pamphlet Is Your Answer.
What if your struggle for a higher wage wasn't just a simple request, but a fundamental challenge to the entire economic system? This is the powerful and practical argument at the heart of Karl Marx's classic work.
Delivered as a speech to fellow union organizers, "Wages, Price and Profit" was written to arm the working class with an unstoppable economic logic. When a colleague argued that fighting for better pay was pointless—because bosses would just raise prices—Marx dismantled this defeatist myth piece by piece.
He reveals the real engine of capitalism: the hidden struggle in every working hour over who gets the wealth your labor creates. This isn't just theory; it's a tool. Marx proves that:
- Wage struggles are not futile—they are a necessary defense against the constant pressure to lower your living standards.
- Profit is not a reward for the boss's risk—it is the portion of the value you produce that they take.
More than just justifying the fight for a fair day's pay, Marx issues a bold call to action. The real goal, he argues, is to move from defensive battles to a transformative war. Don't just fight for a bigger slice of the pie. Fight for the bakery.
This is the essential handbook that turns a wage claim into a revolutionary act.
