Karl Marx

Presents a new revision and modern translation of Marx's great work, which laid the foundation for the development of new political and economic systems in the twentieth century.

A Critique of Political Economy

Das Kapital

Edward Steel

Ouvrage polymorphe, à la fois traité d'économie, étude historique, mais aussi manifeste politique virulent, ce livre, publié en 1867, est l'aboutissement d'un travail considérable sur la genèse et les structures de la société industrielle, sur les contradictions et les crises de l'économie capitaliste, ainsi que sur les affabulations de ses « théoriciens ». Les traducteurs se sont efforcés de rendre la dimension littéraire d'une uvre qui, au-delà de la dénonciation du capital comme système économique, est aussi un grand livre de la littérature universelle.

On the' contrary, an explanation might be expected why this English version has been delayed until now, seeing that for some years past the theories advocated in this book have been constantly referred to, attacked and defended, interpreted and mis interpreted, in the periodical press and the current literature of both England and America.

The consolation of philosophy

Maureen

"Any human action presupposes two things: will
and ability. If either one of these is lacking, no one
can do anything. Without the will, no man can begin
any action, and without ability, the will is frustrated."

I don't usually read philosophical books, but since this was required for class, I had no choice. Surprisingly, the text was accessible (perhaps I got lucky with the translation). It made me ponder over certain questions that always remained at the back of my mind (mostly unaddressed). I also found good counterarguments to some of my longstanding principles—a notable one being "money can buy happiness." 

While I don't agree with all the ideas here, it's safe to say that—overall—this book left an impact.

Karl Marx Das Kapital ist ohne Zweifel eines der Schlüsselwerke der politischen Philosophie. Bis heute wird es kontrovers diskutiert und immer wieder rücken seine Thesen ins Blickfeld einer breiten Öffentlichkeit. Weitgehend ungelöst scheinen demnach die Fragen, denen sich Marx in seiner scharfsichtigen Analyse widmet- Wie schafft es der Mensch, in einer kapitalistisch organisierten Gesellschaft die Zügel in der Hand zu behalten? Und was ist nötig, damit er hinter ihren offenbar rätselhaften Prozessen nicht gänzlich verschwindet?

Kritik der politischen Ökonomie

Azrael Montana

Intelligently and masterfully wielding words, this old bum will change the way you see the world on a fundamental level. Everybody should read this book.

El capital. Crítica de la economía política (en alemán Das Kapital - Kritik der politischen Ökonomie), de Karl Marx es, como reza su subtítulo, un tratado de crítica de la economía política; al mismo tiempo, ha sido también leído como una obra de filosofía, como un tratado de economía, o como un tratado político sobre las relaciones de dominación entre las clases, de un lado los proletarios y de otro los burgueses.

Marx's critique of the capitalist system is rife with big themes: his theory of 'surplus value', his discussion of the exploitation of the working class, and his forecast of class conflict on a grand scale.
