A retelling of Karl Marx · 1894

Das Kapital (Volume III)

“'Capital,' Volume III: The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole. Marx descends from the hidden world of value and surplus-value to the forms in which capital shows itself on the surface of society: profit, the average rate of profit and prices of production, the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, merchants' profit, interest and credit, the rent of land — and the 'trinity formula' in which capital, land and labour seem each to yield their own revenue, until the manuscript breaks off in the middle of a chapter on classes.”
