Abstract

This paper deals with the difficult dichotomy presented by the Marxian economy
of productive and unproductive labor, as well as surplus, and their uses by different
agents of the economy. It analyzes the concepts in Marx, Baran as well as the development
of the ideas throughout the history of economic thought.
