Marx Reading Group: The General Law of Capitalist Accumulation
I've been wanting to join in the Marx Reading Group on Chapter 25 of Capital, Volume I organized by Nate, but haven't been able to focus enough time and energy in that direction yet. In the meantime, I thought I could contribute Hugo Gellert's wonderful 1934 lithographs of Chapter 25.
Thanks to the working of this law, poverty grows as the accumulation of capital grows. The accumulation of wealth at one pole of society involves a simultaneous accumulation of poverty, labor torment, slavery, ignorance, brutalization, and moral degradation, at the opposite pole -- where dwells the class that produces its own product in the form of capital.
Awesome. Thanks for these. I stumbled onto that book in the library once while looking for something else, it's really cool. Someone should do another book along the same lines. Have you seen prole.info, they do some analogous art.
