Publisher's Synopsis
An accessible companion to Karl Marx's essential 'Capital'. With the recent revival of Karl Marx's theory, a general interest in reading 'Capital' has also increased. But 'Capital' - Marx's foundational nineteenth-century work on political economy - is by no means considered an easily understood text. Central concepts, such as abstract labor, the value-form, or the fetishism of commodities, can seem opaque to us as first-time readers, and the prospect of comprehending Marx's thought can be truly daunting. Until, that is, we pick up Michael Heinrich's 'How to Read Marx's Capital'.
