Marx



             labor power. Capitalism flourishes by extracting surplus value, or profit, from the .
             commodities produced by the working class. Without capitals and profits there are .
             obviously no wages and a place to do any type of labor power; and without wage labor .
             capital cannot increase itself. Both are dependent on each other for the flourishing of .

             class who are cut off from their essential powers. They fail to realize that the world is of .
             their own making and that they have the ability to create and recreate the world in which .
             they live in. Marx's theory of privileging of economic matters places an emphasis on .

             productions. Economics is the production of the exchange of goods and services through .
