Publisher's Synopsis
Capital V1: A Critical Analysis Of Capitalist Production (1887) is a seminal work by the renowned philosopher and economist Karl Marx. In this book, Marx provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of the capitalist system of production, exploring its underlying economic principles and the social and political implications of its operation.The book is divided into three main sections, with the first section focusing on the process of commodity production and exchange. Marx provides a detailed examination of the labor theory of value and the role of commodities in capitalist production, exploring how the exchange of goods and services is driven by the pursuit of profit.The second section of the book examines the process of capitalist production itself, exploring the relationship between capital and labor and the exploitation of workers under the capitalist system. Marx provides a detailed analysis of the mechanisms of surplus value extraction and the ways in which capitalist production perpetuates social inequality and class conflict.In the final section of the book, Marx explores the historical development of capitalism and its potential for transformation. He argues that the contradictions inherent in the capitalist system will ultimately lead to its downfall, and that a new, socialist mode of production will emerge in its place.Overall, Capital V1: A Critical Analysis Of Capitalist Production (1887) is a seminal work of Marxist theory, providing a comprehensive and incisive critique of the capitalist system and its social and economic consequences.
