A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy is a compact but powerful provocation from Karl Marx that reshapes how we think about economics, history, and society. In crisp, uncompromising prose, Marx traces the material foundations of social life, argues that production and class relations drive historical change, and exposes the limits of classical political economy’s assumptions about value, labor, and commodity exchange. This audiobook guides listeners through the arresting logic and blistering critique that would later flower into Marx’s magnum opus, offering moments of theoretical clarity, polemic energy, and intellectual urgency that still resonate today. Whether you’re intrigued by the origins of Marxist thought, curious about the forces that shape modern capitalism, or seeking a clearer framework for understanding class and economy, this recording transforms a dense but essential text into an accessible auditory experience—inviting repeated listening to unpack its layered arguments and lasting influence.
