Some Weak Points In the Views of Karl Marx

"Discuss two weak points in the views of Karl Marx, and explain what's wrong them."


One weak point that I have found in the views of Karl Marx is how he believed that people only become worse and worse off under capitalism. This, of course, is not the case, as time has shown us. With the coming times we actually see the working classes having improvements in life under capitalism. Another weak point that I have seen in this man's views is namely this; Karl Marx thought that the amount of labor that went into a product would then proceed to translating how much it sold for. In other words, that the labor determined the price. Then how about pieces of art? One may not take more time than another to create a picture but it is sold for much more than the other. Why? Karl Marx couldn't answer these sorts of questions, and therefore his theory was proven false. Karl Marx had some truly interesting ideas, but that doesn't mean that they were all true.
