Excerpt from Capital: A Critique of Political Economy; The Process of Capitalist Production
The present volume consists, mainly, of the first nine chap ters of Volume I.,-of Marx's Capitol, which are now, not for the first time, however, reprinted. These chapters have long been recognized to contain the theoretical part of the Marxian system, in so far as it applies to political economy, i.e., the laws of value surplus - value, and money. Former editions being now out of print, or otherwise unobtainable, it is considered desirable to issue the present book, which is in tended to be used as a text - book for economic classes and the like, as being more convenient to the needs of group - stu dents than the bulky volume of Capital, and, particularly in view of the uniform non-success which has attended the numerous attempts to popularize, or simplify Capital, more desirable than these.
The practical application of the theories here expounded must, of course, be studied in the complete work, and in the voluminous post-marxian literature. One thing more: Marx ian economics can be understood only, and should be studied only as forming part of a complete whole - a system - which has been called, not very happily, the Socialist Philosophy. For this reason there has been included the famous 32nd chapter of Capital, and the following extract from the preface to A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, is presented as indicating the manner m which Marx himself approached this problem.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of economic systems, specifically focusing on the capitalist mode of production. The author dissects the concept of 'commodity', exploring its dual nature as both a useful object and a vessel of exchange value. The text traces the evolution of value from its rudimentary form to the intricate system of money, unveiling the social and historical forces that shape economic relationships. The author critiques traditional economic theories, arguing that the value of a commodity is not inherent but rather determined by the socially necessary labor time invested in its production. Through meticulous analysis of concepts such as use-value, exchange value, and labor power, the book challenges prevailing assumptions about wealth, production, and economic structures. The author's insights shed light on the inherent contradictions within capitalism and its historical trajectory, prompting readers to question the foundations of economic thought and the dynamics of power and value in modern society.
