Capital: Critique of Political Economy

"Capital: Critique of Political Economy," written by Karl Marx, examines how capitalism operates and its impact on society. Marx analyzes the relationship between labor, production, and profit, arguing that capitalists exploit workers by paying them less than the value they produce. He critiques the capitalist system for creating inequality and alienation, leading to social injustices. The work highlights concepts such as surplus value and commodity fetishism, emphasizing how economic forces shape human relationships and social structures. Ultimately, Marx aims to uncover the underlying dynamics of capitalism and its consequences for individuals and society as a whole.
