Wage Labour and Capital

Wage Labour and Capital

by Karl Marx

  • 1849
  • ~50 pages
  • 4.4 ★
Marxist literature is vast and deep, sometimes too complex for the beginning reader. Marx and Engels were aware of this, and to this end, they created small books, often called pamphlets, to reach the workers. However, Marx's main work, Das Kapital, is sometimes inaccessible due to the size and depth of its content. Wage-Labour and Capital, considered a precursor of Capital, manages to provide an accessible scientific economic understanding of capitalism without losing the typical depth of Marx's works.This edition brings the 1891 translation of Wage-Labour and Capital made by Friedrich Engels himself, almost a decade after Marx's death.
