Synopsis

Originally delivered as lectures in 1847 and first published as newspaper articles in 1849, Wage Labor and Capital is one of Karl Marx’s clearest introductions to his critique of the capitalist system.

In concise, forceful chapters, Marx explains how wage labor functions, why the worker is compelled to sell labor-power to survive, and how profit depends on an unequal relationship between those who own capital and those who must work for wages. Step by step, he connects everyday realities—wages, prices, competition, and “the market”—to the deeper structure of class power and exploitation.

Accessible, polemical, and historically important, this short work is ideal for readers who want a foundational Marx text before (or alongside) Capital, and for anyone interested in political economy, labor history, and modern social theory.
