"Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer"

- Karl Marx

About this Quote

In this quote, Karl Marx is arguing that capitalist production, in which organizations are privately owned and operate for revenue, depends on technology and the combination of multiple procedures to increase efficiency and success. However, he likewise recommends that this advancement comes at a cost, as it diminishes the essential sources of wealth: the soil and the worker. Marx thought that the exploitation of employees and resources is inherent in a capitalist system, and that this exploitation eventually results in the decline of the economy and society.
