Other titles in the Capital series:Capital, Volume 1: A Critique of Political Economyby Karl Marx
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Das Kapital, originally intended as an unbelievably ambitious (and never completed) six-volume work, represents one of the key landmarks in the scientific understanding of capitalist development, bourgeois society and the economics of class conflict. "What I have come to examine in this work," wrote Marx in the Preface, "is the capitalist mode of production," its natural laws and tendencies "winning their way through and working themselves out with iron necessity." In Volume 1 (1867) years of research resulted in a marvellously lucid exposition that builds up from the basic unit of the commodity to a detailed consideration of the labour theory of value, the role of money, the modern factory system and the ways in which capital extorts surplus-value from wage-labour. Throughout, Marx draws on a profound knowledge of nineteenth-century England to support his analysis and generate countless fresh insights. Yet despite the failure of some of his prophecies, there is nothing dated about Marx's main contentions and conclusions: as Ernest Mandel suggests in his stimulating introduction, "Today's Western world is much nearer to the 'pure' model of Capital than was the world in which it was composed. Synopsis:Marx's major work was the product of 30 years' close study of the most advanced industrial society of his day. Marx devoted most of his adult life to analyzing the "laws of motion" of capitalism. The result was his contribution to a critique of political economy. Synopsis:This 1867 study--one of the most influential documents of modern times--looks at the relationship between labor and value, the role of money, and the conflict between the classes.
