Description
Capital: A Critique of Political Economy is a seminal work that challenges the foundations of private property and its impact on society. Written by Karl Marx while in exile in England, this influential text draws on his extensive knowledge of British society to shed new light on the subject.
Marx argues that capitalism inevitably leads to an increasing divide between wealth and welfare, ultimately predicting its abolition and replacement with a system based on common ownership of the means of production. This groundbreaking analysis has resonated with social democratic leaders worldwide, earning it the reputation as 'the Bible of the Working Class'.
First published in 1867, Capital remains a powerful critique of capitalism's social relations, offering insights that continue to shape debates about economic systems and social justice.
