Published over 150 years ago, Wage Labor and Capital contains a series of talks delivered to workers by Marx, discussing key concepts such as the definition of wages, the nature of capital, the value and price of goods, and the relationship between capital and wage labor in contemporary bourgeois society. As noted by Engels in his preface, the ideas put forth in this concise book by Marx were further expanded upon in his major work, Capital, which delves deeper into the analysis of the capitalist production system. Despite its age, Wage Labor and Capital remains relevant and serves as a prime example of accessible writing that maintains both clarity and scientific integrity. Within just a few pages, modern readers can uncover the core principles of Marx's ideology and the proletariat's resistance against the dominance of capital.
