Das Kapital (Volume I)

“'Capital: A Critique of Political Economy,' Volume I — the only volume Marx published himself. Starting from the humble commodity, Marx traces how money becomes capital, how capital draws surplus-value from the unpaid labour of the worker, how the struggle over the working day and the coming of machinery reshape industry, and how accumulation piles up wealth at one pole and misery at the other — until, in a history written 'in letters of blood and fire,' he shows how it all began.”
