Capitalism: Myth, illusions and realities
The capitalist system, based as it is on exploitation, is controlled by a ruling class that can’t acknowledge the realities of its irrational and crisis-ridden system. The working class, who make up the great majority, can’t challenge this system with the ideas of the class that exploits them. An understanding of the society we live in is required before we can change it and, in that regard, the analysis of the workings of a capitalist economy that Marx and Engels provided is more vital today than ever before.
