Reflections, conclusions and an agenda for future research

In previous chapters we examined a number of building blocks supporting Marx’s economic theory. While the theory appears to be both logical and consistent, it is possible that some readers remain unconvinced. However, there is no doubt that Marx left behind an impressive theoretical framework which is reinforced by some important pillars. In this final chapter we will endeavour to draw some conclusions, tracing our earlier steps to investigate Marx’s economic model.
