With the passage of time, various intellectuals focused on the meticulous revision of the economic and political models that dominated the world. Thus, they developed various ideologies that served as a kind of guide on how a nation should really be addressed, depending, of course, on the interests of the citizens or the rulers. In this way, remarkable philosophies were born, such as socialism, capitalism, communism and others. Within this, the Marxist school stands out, which displays its own political and economic pattern, which widely rejects capitalism.
The “commercial profit” is a concept, likewise, that was established in the Marxist economy, in which it is spoken of the profits collected by the commercial capitalists, the industrial capitalists and the small producers. Likewise, it is part of the so-called commercial capital, the investments made in the commercial field, which takes part only in the sphere of circulation (transformation of monetary capital to commercial capital and vice versa).
Unlike capitalist profit, business profits do not increase the value of the traded product in any way. The merchant capitalists establish a figure in advance, which must be recovered and added to the profits that will be obtained with the prompt sale of the product; this deducts in the individual obtaining the average or general profits. Marx emphasizes the fact that, in the commercial field, usually increase the price of manufactured products level industry, adding a little more than the value at which it was acquired, and, conversely, prices denigrate the goods manufactured by small producers.
