<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Marx's classic of political economics constitutes a work of tremendous influence. In addition to its critique of private property, it also offers a thorough analysis of the scientific laws of capitalism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Hailed by Friedrich Engels as "the bible of the working class," this 1867 classic of political economics changed the course of history. Thirty years in the making, <i>Capital, Volume I</i> was the first installment of Karl Marx's three-part <i>Das Kapital </i>and the only volume published during his lifetime. Marx declared that society is evolving from crude, unbalanced economic systems toward a utopian state -- specifically, communism. His critiques of private property and class struggles aroused tremendous interest and exercised an influence that resonates to this day.<br>Marx offers a penetrating analysis of capitalism's inner workings, examining commodities, value, money, and other factors related to the system's historic origins and contemporary functions. These considerations form the framework for his conclusion: the system cannot be reformed and must be overthrown by a revolution, resulting in a socialist society in which production serves the needs of every individual rather than generating profits for the few.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>One of the 19th century's most influential thinkers, German philosopher Karl Marx (1818-83) formulated the social, political, and economic ideas that serve as the basis for Communism.
