Sup comrades,
Looking to do a deep dive into current price hikes and inflation with some comrades and looking for resources to explain, critique and solve the problem form a marxist perspective.
The term inflation famously doesn’t really come up explicitly in Marx, only “money devaluation” afaik, but still if you got relevant material/articles/books/whatever on the topic, I’d love to go through them
Cheers
If you want to learn about economics from a Marxist perspective might I recommend Marx’ Capital? Or Wage Labour and Capital? Great works that answer all of your questions and more. They really are essential books that every leftist should read.

I’ve read Wage Labour and Capital a while ago as well as Value, Price and Profit and while essential reading, I don’t think it’s sufficient for me to really talk about inflation on a seminar-level. Capital - don’t really have the time for it for this deep dive and I wanna read it as part of a group
It might have been Capital where I learned it. I understand, best to wait then. Sorry I can’t be of help here.
