Capitalist Economics delves into the fundamental economic forces that shape the present and construct the future of capitalist societies. It challenges the notion that economics is a universal science of choice or the efficient allocation of scarce resources. Instead, this book examines economic forces and relations as integral components of a broader society, recognizing the economic as a logic that coexists with cultural, political, and social forces. Furthermore, it acknowledges the economic as a product of historical development. By exploring the unique economic pressures prevalent in capitalist societies, the book offers a detailed yet concise analysis of essential concepts such as commodities, money, exchange, and interest. It also delves into broader issues such as the source of profit, the nature of growth, and the role of technology and invention. Written for political scientists, sociologists, philosophers, cultural studies scholars, and beyond, this book offers a fresh perspective on socio-economic relations, providing a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in various fields.
