Contents -- Preface -- The working class -- Some theoretical considerations -- Nothing to lose but their chains -- What hath the working class wrought? -- The power of capital is still intact -- Can the working class radically change the world? -- Notes -- Index.
Summary: One of the horrors of the capitalist system is that slave labor, which was central to the formation and growth of capitalism itself, is still fully able to coexist alongside wage labor. But, as Karl Marx points out, it is the fact of being paid for one's work that validates capitalism as a viable socio-economic structure.
