What Is Economics? by Rosa Luxemburg
A concise Marxist critique that presents economics as the study of how societies produce, distribute and appropriate wealth within specific social relations, emphasizing the capitalist mode of production, the exploitation of wage labor, surplus value and recurrent crises of accumulation. It argues that mainstream (bourgeois) economics obscures class conflict and serves to justify inequality, and insists that real economic understanding must examine historical and social conditions, class struggle, and the imperialist expansion driven by capital’s need to realize surplus. The account blends theoretical exposition with polemical critique to show that economic laws are rooted in social relations rather than abstract, isolated individuals.
