working class

 

The world's 10 percent of the population have 76 percent of the world's total income.  This ratio is getting worse every day. And as inequality increases, the working class becomes poorer and poorer. The poverty issue has not only an economic dimension but also socio-cultural, philosophical, political and even moral dimensions.

According to Marx, the value of a commodity is measured by the labor-time spent. Labor is the core of value. So why does the working class get the least amount of the value produced? And which people are included in the working class in the 21st century? Today, May 1st, let us think about this important issue.
