Capital

Capital (1867) represents a groundbreaking analysis of money and its many roles at the height of the industrial revolution. By focusing on the exploitation of the working class, the text challenges traditional economic theories and frames a capitalist economy as a system inherently leading to social inequality and class struggle.

German philosopher, economist, and social theorist Karl Marx is regarded as one of the most influential figures in history. His revolutionary ideas about class struggle, capitalism, and economics, which he developed alongside his close collaborator Friedrich Engels, sparked the foundation of many socialist and communist movements across the globe. His published works, including Capital and The Communist Manifesto, continue to influence economic and political debates more than a century and a half after their first appearance.
