In the instructions I included an example of how the assignment should look below. The total is 4 paragraphs. The first two paragraphs reflecting on the article and concepts -- the third and fourth paragraph are reflecting on the article we research and incorporate with the Marx essay. So first 2 points, only for Marx, Last two points Marx + the article we found and compare it.... *Make sure you assess the concepts and explain them

I chose to reply to the summary of “Alienated Labor” and “The Power of Money in Bourgeois Society” from Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 written by Karl Marx. However, I will be focusing on the concept of alienation. Furthermore, I will be using the article New technology isn’t the cause of inequality– it’s the solution by Wim Naude and Paula Nagler. Marx examines the idea of alienation, an implication of capitalism, in which wage earners begin to objectify their labor and gives power to the object rather than the producer the object. Thus, the worker’s labor becomes alien to them. This alienation is partly caused by money, which serves as the primary method to provide the means necessary for achieving capital. For Marx, classes share the same means of production, and private ownership of the means of production results in alienation. This then leads to dehumanization of the worker, yet personification of the machine and the product itself. Moreover, Naude and Nagler's article reaffirms the idea of alienation when they discuss how technology such as automation and artificial intelligence have been blamed for one of the main causes as to why many workers are losing their jobs. This coincides with Marx’s view on alienation as a worker’s feelings of separation from themselves and their product, which leads to commodity fetishism. Thus, according to Marx, “when we blame machines for replacing our jobs or for our feelings of alienation, we endow them with human qualities of conscious intent or will” (75). Furthermore, Naude and Nagler elaborate on this idea when they mention that technology shouldn’t be blamed for the social problems occurring such as increasing unemployment rates, rising income inequality, and discrimination in the workplace. Furthermore, instead of blaming the nature of a capitalist economy, workers personify the machinery that is purchased by their employers and focus their frustrations on the object. The contemporary article updates Marx’s original work by highlighting how commodity fetishism and alienation align with each other by not only showcasing what happens when external labor becomes an act that does not belong to the worker, but also expanding on how the development of technology has revealed an ongoing rhetoric that the worker is a replaceable being subject to capitalism, with little effect on the methods of production. Moreover, the article elaborates on how the worker must look at technology as a benefit that will provide more product for less work,
