A 2016 Accountemps survey showed that 80 percent of people believe office politics exists in their office, and 55 percent said they take part. More than a quarter of those same respondents said they felt that “politicking” was essential to getting ahead. Research backs them up. Numerous studies show that there’s a connection between political skill and career success.
Marx criticizes forms that are always presupposed by bourgeois economics: Political economy has indeed analysed value and its magnitude, however incompletely, and has uncovered the content concealed within these forms. But it has never once asked the question why this content has assumed that particular form, that is to say, why labour is expressed in value, and why the measurement of labour by its duration is expressed in the magnitude of the value of the product. (Capital, 1:173–74)
