DESCRIPTION:Capitalism, which Marx analyzed and criticized in the phase of its 
 emergence, has changed since his day in this way and that, but in nothing 
 really essential. The accumulation of money is still the dominant purpose 
 of work. Working people are still a cost factor, thus the negative variable 
 of the company’s goal: profit. The development of the productive power of 
 labor, the greatest source of material wealth, still takes place 
 exclusively to save money on wages and lay off employees -- thus making 
 workers poorer. Because of this reality, and only because of this, the long 
 forgotten thinker deserves to be remembered. His books help to explain 
 economic reality today. This talk will demonstrate this by quotations from 
 the first chapter of Das Kapital Volume 1, “The Commodity.” It offers 
 thoughts about use value and exchange value, concrete and abstract labor, 
 money and benefit, work and wealth – paired together, terms that our 
 modern world can no longer distinguish, when they really contain the 
 hardest opposites.\n
