Most people agree that we need to improve our economic system in some way. But we also often bring out the opinions of the most famous and ambitious critic, Karl Marx. In fact, his political and economic ideas have been used to create a badly planned economy and a dictatorship. However, we should not dismiss Marx too quickly. We should see him as a guide to his discovery of the problems of Capitalism helping us to create for ourselves a promising future. Capitalism is about to change – and Marx’s analysis will be part of any answer. Marx was born in 1818 in Preter, Germany. He soon became involved with the Communist Party, a small group of scholars who advocated the overthrow of the class system and the abolition of private property. She worked as a journalist and had to flee Germany, eventually settling in London. Marx wrote a series of books and essays, and at one point with his friend Friedrich Engels Kakhulu, Marx wrote Capitalism, a form of economics dominating the western world. It was so in his day, and it continues, and Marx was one of its most intelligent and observant commentators. Here are some of the problems he identified with: Today’s work is “divided” One of the great things of Marx’s understanding is that work can be one of the But in order to be fulfilled at work, Marx wrote that employees need a ‘m’ to see themselves in the things they have created ‘. Think of the person who made this chair: straightforward, firm, secure and exemplary It is an example of how, to the best of our ability, employees give us the But this is becoming increasingly rare in today’s world. Part of the problem is that today’s work is special in a very special way. Special services make today’s economy more efficient, but it also means that it is rare for any single employee to get an idea of the real contribution they can Marx pointed out that modern work leads to isolation = Entfremdung in other words, a sense of connection between what you do all day and who you really are and what you think you might be involved in being there. Today’s work is uncertainty Capitalism makes one more expensive; just one thing among others in production capacity can be safely released the moment the cost increases or savings can And, as Marx knows, deep down, we do not want to be set free without fear of being left out. Emotional perception, it expresses a deep desire that it always has a place in the heart, that it will not be released. Workers were paid less while the capitalists were rich This is probably the most obvious nonsense Marx had with Capitalism. In particular, he believed that the capitalists reduced the wages of all working class workers as much as possible in order to reduce profits. He called this collection of antiquities = ursprüngliche Akkumulation While the capitalists saw profit as a reward for technical skill and technical talent, Marx was earning the most. Profit is just stealing, and the thing you steal is the talent and hard work of your work force. Whatever the basic attire, Marx emphasizes that by being united, capitalism means paying an employee a certain amount of work for something that can be sold to another, which Profit is the word for fraud by exploitation. Unstable capitalism Marx proposes that capitalist systems be exposed to a series of problems. All the issues are dressed by the capitalists as certain in some way and rare and soon to be the last.
