Answer:

Karl Marx

Marx gave importance to the role of labourers in the production process.
The basis of production is the manpower of labourers and the price of a product is the reward for it. However, the labours get only a portion while the lion’s share goes to the capitalist as profit. Marx calls this surplus value.
