Editorial Reviews

Product Description
THEORIES OF SURPLUS VALUE is the fourth volume in Karl Marx's (1818-1883) monumental work, DAS KAPITAL (CAPITAL). Divided into three parts, this compelling work reviews classic economic analyses of labor and value (Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas R. Malthus, and others), focusing on the concept of surplus value--the difference between the full value of a worker's labor and the wages received for that labor. This is a key concept for Marx, since capitalism maintains its power through controlling surplus value.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definative history of classical/pre-classical economics., November 18, 1997
By A Customer
This book represents the painstaking effort of a great mind. An excrucriatingly detailed critical review of the economic literature pre-dating Marx is undertaken. Anyone seeking to understand the history of economics must carefully review this epic work. Historians too, will appreciate the extensive treatment of the contexts into which generations of economic ideas were born. Marx's revolutionary new theory of class emerges clearly from his critical reading of the great and not-so-great works which provided the foundation on which his break-throughs were built.
