What to expect
All 3 volumes of
Capital, a compendium that Marx's collaborator Friedrich Engels described as 'the Bible of the working class'.
"The mode of production of material life conditions the general process of social, political, and intellectual life."
Part history, part economics and part sociology, Karl Marx's
Capital is one of the most influential works of the 19th century and had had a profound and far-reaching influence on subsequent intellectual, political, and social history. In three volumes (the latter two edited and published posthumously by Marx's friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels) Marx expounds his theory of the capitalist system in an incisive critique of private ownership and the social relations it generates.
Volume 1: The Process of Production of Capital
Marx examines the production process, labour value, and the exploitation inherent in capitalist systems and critiques how wealth is generated and distributed, illustrating the contradictions of capitalism and its impact on society.
Volume 2: The Process of Circulation of Capital
Continues the examination of the capitalist system, focusing primarily on the lifeblood of the capitalist economy—how capital moves through cycles of production, exchange, and reproduction and how the circulation of commodities affects
the broader economy.
Volume 3: The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole
Combines the theories and concepts explored previously in order to prove that capitalism is inherently unworkable as a permanent system for society, and is inevitably doomed to failure. He believed that these factors would instigate a revolutionary change, transitioning society toward socialism and ultimately culminating in a classless egalitarian system.
Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a German philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for co-authoring
The Communist Manifesto and writing
Das Kapital. Due to his political writings, he was forced to live in exile in London, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings. His ideas have had enormous influence on political and philosophical thought, laid the foundation for modern communism and have influenced political movements worldwide.
