Description
One of the most notorious works of modern times, as well as one of the most influential, "Capital" is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis and generate fresh insights. Arguing that capitalism would create an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. "Capital" rapidly acquired readership among the leaders of social democratic parties, particularly in Russia and Germany, and ultimately throughout the world, to become a work described by Marx's friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels as 'the Bible of the Working Class'.

About the Author
Karl Marx, born on May 5, 1818, in Trier, Prussia, was a philosopher, economist, and revolutionary socialist. He studied law and philosophy at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, developing a keen interest in Hegelian philosophy. In 1841, Marx earned his doctorate from the University of Jena.In 1843, Marx moved to Paris, where he became involved in radical political circles and met Friedrich Engels, who would become his lifelong collaborator. Together, they co-authored "The Communist Manifesto" in 1848, articulating the principles of communism and advocating for the proletariat's uprising. Marx's critical analysis of capitalism culminated in his seminal work, "Das Kapital," published in 1867.Marx spent his later years in London, continuing his writing and political activism despite enduring financial hardship and health issues. He was actively involved in the International Workingmen's Association, promoting international socialism. Marx passed away on March 14, 1883, in London, leaving a profound legacy that influenced various political movements and ideologies worldwide.
