Capital
Book • 1867
Das Kapital is a comprehensive critique of capitalism written by Karl Marx.
The work is divided into three volumes.
Volume I, published in 1867, focuses on the production process of capital, introducing the concept of surplus value and the exploitation of labor.
Volume II, published posthumously in 1885, examines the circulation of capital, while Volume III, published in 1894, discusses the capitalist process as a whole, including the internal differentiation of the capitalist class and the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.
Marx argues that capitalism is characterized by the exploitation of labor, leading to class conflict and eventual crises that necessitate the emergence of a new mode of production.
