Author Description

The work, however, was not published either by Marx or Engels. It was found among Marx's papers after Engels' death and published by Marx's daughter, Eleanor Aveling. In the English language it was published under the title of Value, Price and Profit, while the German translation bore the title of Wages, Price and Profit. This work, as Marx himself noted, falls into two parts. In the first part, Marx, while criticizing Weston, is at the same time essentially attacking the so-called "theory of wages fund," which had been presented in the main by Weston in his report, and which had John Stuart Mill as its most formidable supporter.
