Capital Vol. 1, 2, & 3
Summary:
The book is a comprehensive collection of Marx's critical analysis of capitalism and its socio-economic impact, detailing the theory of surplus value, the capitalist mode of production, and the eventual crises arising from the inherent contradictions of capitalism. It includes discussions on the exploitation of labor, the dynamics of capital accumulation, and the class struggle, culminating in Marx's vision for a proletarian revolution and the development of a communist society.
Key points:
1. Commodity and Value: Marx says in "Capital" that a commodity has a use-value (its practical use) and an exchange-value (its trade value). The value comes from the labor needed to make it. This idea criticizes capitalism by showing worker exploitation for profit.
