Description
Capital Volume 1: A Critique of Political Economy
This influential work of political analysis examines the social relations generated by private property, arguing that capitalism leads to an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare. Written by Karl Marx while in exile in England, the book presents a radical vision of a system with common ownership of the means of production.
First published in 1992, Capital has had a profound impact on social democratic parties and labour movements around the world, earning the description "the Bible of the working class" from Marx's friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels.
