by Karl Marx
'Capital: a critical analysis of capitalist production, Vol 1' Summary
**Capital: Volume I** is a groundbreaking work by Karl Marx, published in 1867. It examines the inner workings of capitalism, exploring its historical development, economic mechanisms, and inherent contradictions. Marx analyzes the relationship between labor and capital, arguing that capitalist production relies on the exploitation of workers. The book analyzes the concept of surplus value – the profit extracted from workers' labor – and the role of commodities in the capitalist system. It also delves into the dynamics of class struggle and the historical inevitability of a transition to socialism. This volume is considered a foundational text of Marxist theory and continues to be influential in academic discourse and political movements.Book Details
