Description
The name of 'Piercy Ravenstone' appears in histories of economics as one of the earliest advocates of the theory of surplus value subsequently adopted by Marx, and hence as one of the intellectual ancestors of communism. In this book Ravenstone argues against Malthus's theory that over-population is the cause of poverty: his belief is that poverty is due to the workings of the capitalist system. - from Amzon
