Marx, critic of the classical theory of value

Abstract

Subtitle of Capital and also present in the name of previous works, the critique of political economy is a constitutive moment in the elaboration of Marx's own theory of capitalism. For him, it is not a question of making an 'a posteriori' comparison of his ready-made ideas with others, but of constantly and necessarily referring to them as a starting point, in an operation through which the identities and the differences that determine new meanings and articulations.
