Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marx believed that as production expanded in capitalist economies, the competition between capitalists would lead to a downward pressure on wages, while at the same time profits would continue to rise. This would create an increasingly unequal society, with the few capitalists at the top benefiting from the labor of the many workers at the bottom. This would ultimately lead to a revolution of the working class, who would overthrow the capitalist system and establish socialism or communism. According to Marx's theory of capitalism, as production expands and the market becomes saturated with goods, competition increases among capitalists to sell their products, leading to a decrease in profits. In order to maintain profits, capitalists will try to reduce costs, including lowering wages for workers, which Marx believed would lead to revolution by the working class. Therefore, A is the best choice.
