The economic theory developed by Marx by the middle of the 19th century, completed with the aberrations of Lenin and Stalin, has lost any sense in our days, remaining a simple utopia. Marx’s thesis, particularly the one about surplus value has become obsolete. Essentially, what Marx called surplus value is nothing else but value-added in the real economy. Despite the fact that Marx and his disciple expected the fall of capitalism, this system, based on private property, not only has not disappeared, but has largely extended all over the world, some of his elements penetrating with good results even in the China.
