Explore one of the most intellectually rigorous and influential critiques of Marxist economics ever written.
First published in 1896, Karl Marx and the Close of His System by renowned Austrian School economist Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk remains a foundational text in the study of political economy. Böhm-Bawerk systematically takes apart the core arguments laid out in Karl Marx’s Das Kapital, exposing what he argues are critical logical contradictions between the first and subsequent volumes.
Focusing heavily on the flaws within the Labor Theory of Value, this work brilliantly contrasts Marxist economic modeling against the realities of supply, demand, and subjective consumer utility.
