Value, Price and Profit

For over a century, Karl Marx's Value, Price and Profit has been a cornerstone of economic criticism. Yet its original Victorian prose and dated translations can alienate modern readers. This faithful modern-English edition renders Marx's 1865 lecture in fresh, contemporary language while preserving his original arguments and rhetorical power. From the labor theory of value to the extraction of surplus value, from wages to profits, every key concept is presented with clarity. Whether you encounter Marx for the first time or return to his work with new eyes, this edition makes the ideas accessible without oversimplification. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
