The Labor of Man and Its Relation to the Distribution of Energy

"The Labor of Man and Its Relation to the Distribution of Energy" is the most famous work of the unfairly forgotten economist and philosopher Sergey Andreevich Podolinsky (1850-1891), in which the theme of dialectical interaction between labor and energy, man and nature, productive forces and productive relations is deeply explored.
This work was highly regarded by K. Marx and F. Engels and paved the way for the research of V.I. Vernadsky, I.R. Prigogine, and other scholars.
