VALUE, PRICE, AND PROFIT
By KARL MARX. Edited by his daughter ELEANOR MARX AVELING. With an
Introduction and Annotations by LUCIEN SANIAL.
This book is especially timely, like everything else that Marx wrote.
Written a couple of years before his "Capital" appeared, it is an
address to workingmen, and covers in popular form many of the subjects
later scientifically expanded in "Capital."
Lucien Sanial says of it: "It is universally considered as the best
epitome we have of the first volume of 'Capital,' and as such, is
invaluable to the beginner in economics. It places him squarely on his
feet at the threshold of his inquiry; that is, in a position where his
perceptive faculties cannot be deceived and his reasoning power
vitiated by the very use of his eyesight; whereas, by the very nature
of his capitalist surroundings, he now stands on his head and sees all
things inverted."
Special interest attaches to what Marx says relative to strikes. Were
the working Class thoroughly acquainted with the subject matter of this
little work, we should hear no more of the "common ground" on which
capital and labor might meet to settle their differences.
The thousand and one schemes that are daily being flaunted in the faces
of the working class by the lieutenants of the capitalists show the
necessity there is on the part of the working class for a comprehensive
understanding of the matter of wages, the relation of the worker to the
employer, the source of profits, and the relation between profits and
wages. These and other subjects are here presented, and so clearly
does Marx present them that all he has to say can be understood by any
person willing to pay close attention to his words.

From a Mechanical Standpoint
it is the first one Marx's works published in America that can be
