Evaluated in the socioeconomic context of "Das Kapital" (one of the most intellectually challenging and stimulating books, often considered the bible of communism),L2, the setting (L1, "not personal" desk drawer) and one unmatched tool/leather glove for demanding jobs, L3, reveals something about the speaker's inquisitive mind.
ReplyDeleteFYI: In "Das Kapital" (1867), Marx proposes that the "motivating force of capitalism" is in the "exploitation of labor," whose un/underpaid work is the ultimate source of surplus value. And "Das Kapital" is essentially a description of how the exploitative capitalist system works and how, Marx claims, it will "destroy itself."
