Description
Karl Marx's Capital has experienced a resurgence in popularity since the global economic crisis began in 2008. This surge in interest is partly due to economists and commentators acknowledging an analysis that sees capitalism as inherently unstable. Michael Heinrich, who has long seen value in Marx's work, offers a modern interpretation of Capital for English-speaking readers. Heinrich's book systematically covers all three volumes of Capital, explaining the basic aspects of Marx's critique of capitalism in clear and concise terms. The author also provides background information on the intellectual and political context in which Marx worked, as well as crucial issues beyond the scope of Capital, such as class struggle and the relationship between capital and the state. By emphasizing the monetary character of Marx's work, Heinrich highlights the relevance of Capital to our current age of financial explosions and implosions. This unique perspective makes his book an essential resource for understanding Marx's thought and its continued relevance today.
