Great introduction to economic theory, origin of surplus value etc.

To anyone looking for a basic understanding of what Karl Marx was about, I’m gonna send ‘Wage-Labour and Capital’ their way. Easy and fast read which is as relevant now as it was back then.

A great introduction to some of the key Marxist concepts and also Marx’s style of writing — a clearer, more propagandistic work.

I especially like the way these two pamphlets briefly explain how inflation indicates the success or failure of the class struggle (WL&C 33–34) and how the tension between rate of profit and rate of wages might not be visible in the prices of commodities. VPP concludes by mentioning the composition of capital, a controversial topic dealt with in more detail elsewhere. Also Marx likes Hobbes (VPP 38).
