Capital (Karl Marx)

"Capital," written by Karl Marx, is a foundational text in economic theory and critique of political economy. It explores how capitalism operates, focusing on the relationship between labor, value, and capital. Marx argues that the value of a product is determined by the labor invested in it, and he critiques the exploitation of workers, who do not receive full value for their labor. The book examines how capital accumulates and leads to class struggle, highlighting the contradictions within capitalism that may ultimately lead to its downfall. It's a critical analysis of economics, society, and human relationships.
