<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This beginners guide to <i>Capital</i> illustrates the key concepts, humour, and immense vitality to be enjoyed in Marx's great work.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Imagine Karl Marx as a cartoonist, ready to set the record straight about his much maligned classic, <em>Das Kapital</em>. Impossibly difficult? Not in the least. Hopelessly outdated? Far from it. Though first published in 1867, <em>Capital</em> remains keenly relevant. Society continues to run on investment and profit, labor and technology. And predictions that once might have seemed rash--global economic crisis, societies nearing bankruptcy--are now simply facts. <em>Capital</em> remains the fullest attempt to explain these facts, and <em>Marx's Capital Illustrated</em> brings this attempt to vibrant life, proceeding all the way from the ABCs to the pertinence of Marx's theory of crisis for today's global woes.</p><p>Fresh, funny, and copiously illustrated, this book is for everyone who wants better insight into Capital and capitalism. Readers of Marx, unite! You have found your starting point.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Valuable...in some respects more so than all the interpretations and popularizations I have read. -- C.L.R.
