Class, Surplus, and the Division of Labour [electronic resource] : A Post-Marxian Exploration /
Polák, M.author.
The traditional Marxian picture of a two-class polarisation seems far removed from today's diverse society. Re-examining the very foundations of the Marxian theory in the process, the author argues that important critiques can fruitfully be understood and to accomplish the goal, he extends the traditional concepts in innovative and original ways.
