In The Economic Synthesis, Achille Loria provides a groundbreaking analysis of the laws governing income distribution in capitalist societies. Drawing on the works of Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and other theorists, Loria argues that the accumulation of capital inevitably leads to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, while leaving the majority of workers in a state of poverty. An essential read for anyone interested in economics, politics, and social justice.
