Historical Materialism And The Economics Of Karl Marx is a book written by Benedetto Croce that explores the economic theories of Karl Marx through the lens of historical materialism. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing a detailed analysis of Marx's economic ideas and the second part examining the historical context in which they were developed.Croce begins by outlining Marx's theory of historical materialism, which posits that economic and social conditions are the driving forces behind historical development. He then delves into Marx's critique of capitalism, arguing that the system is inherently exploitative and unsustainable. Croce also examines Marx's concept of surplus value and its role in the capitalist mode of production.In the second part of the book, Croce contextualizes Marx's economic theories within the broader historical context of the 19th century. He discusses the rise of industrial capitalism and the emergence of the working class, as well as the political and social movements that emerged in response to these developments.Overall, Historical Materialism And The Economics Of Karl Marx provides a comprehensive overview of Marx's economic theories and their historical context. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding Marx's ideas and their relevance to contemporary economic and political debates.The economic axiom is a very general and purely a formal principle of conduct. It is inconceivable that anyone should act without applying, well or ill, the very principle of every action, i.e., the economic principle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
