Smith. 330 $aIn this updated and expanded edition of Invisible Leviathan , Murray E.G. Smith critically explores and makes significant contributions to the debate surrounding Karl Marx?s ?capitalist law of value? and its corollary, the law of the falling rate of profit. A powerful case is presented that capitalism has exhausted its potential to contribute to human progress. Humanity confronts a fateful choice: to allow this obsolescent system ? which necessarily measures ?wealth? in terms of ?abstract social labour? and money profit ? to destroy human civilisation; or to make the leap toward a global, egalitarian-socialist society in which the satisfaction of human need is the starting-point and the all-round development of each and every human individual the goal of the socio-economic life process.
