Beschreibung

Karl Marx's seminal work, "Capital (Das Kapital)," delves into the intricacies of capitalist society through a rigorous analysis of economic systems, labor, and commodities. With a blend of philosophical discourse and economic theory, Marx employs a dialectical method that challenges contemporary capitalist ideologies. His exploration of concepts such as surplus value, alienation, and class struggle reveals the inherent contradictions within capitalism, making it a foundational text in both economics and political theory, notably influencing subsequent schools of thought, including socialism and critical theory. Marx, born in Prussia in 1818, was profoundly shaped by the socio-economic turbulence of his time, which included the Industrial Revolution and the rise of bourgeois capitalism. An ardent philosopher and economist, Marx spent much of his life analyzing the relationship between labor and capital. His long-standing collaboration with Friedrich Engels, as well as his immersion in contemporary social and political movements, fueled his desire to articulate the struggles of the working class, culminating in this masterwork. "Capital" is more than a profound treatise on economics; it is a clarion call to assess the socio-political structures that govern our lives. Readers interested in understanding the roots of modern capitalism, as well as its critiques, will find this book indispensable. Marx's insights continue to resonate, prompting essential discussions about equity, labor rights, and the future of economic systems.

Autor

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a revolutionary thinker and socio-economic philosopher, whose ideas profoundly shaped political theory and practice. His seminal work, 'Capital' (Das Kapital), remains a cornerstone of Marxist economics and critique of political economy. Marx was born in Trier, in the Prussian Rhineland, and studied law and philosophy at the universities of Bonn and Berlin. Influenced by Hegelian philosophy, Marx's eventual turn to communism was provoked by the dire social conditions he observed in industrial England. Alongside his collaborator Friedrich Engels, Marx authored 'The Communist Manifesto' in 1848, a pamphlet that has become one of the most influential political documents in history. In 'Capital', Marx meticulously analyses the capitalist system, delving into the dynamics of production, labor, capital accumulation, and class struggle. His literary style combines rigorous economic analysis with a sharp and sometimes biting critique, exposing the contradictions and exploitative mechanisms inherent in capitalism. Beyond 'Capital', Marx's extensive oeuvre includes works on history, sociology, and politics, which together lay the foundation for the school of thought known as Marxism-a profound influence on labor movements, academic disciplines, and revolutionary activities worldwide. Posthumously, Marx's ideas continue to incite debate, inspire activism, and inform a diverse array of political ideologies and policies.
