What is it about?

The system of capitalism is based on the accumulation of tangible and intangible goods and services. However, the question arises, how these goods and services can be evaluated, and how or according to which criteria can they be shared with people. Henceforth, this article relies on vivid analysis applying perspectives of Adam Smith and Karl Marx as well as religious points of views to illuminate this situation. There is an effort to produce an analytical model within which political economy considerations can be linked to each other. Given this analytical approach, the discussion on the term “value” is quite useful. This project examines the evolution of the term “value” and its role in the development of societies. The main objective of the project is to reaffirm and clearly underline the message that, the term “value” shall not be simplified and that it needs more acknowledgement and social consciousness. The project examines this term from a critical scientific point of view. (3) (PDF) The value.
