Capital Volumes (Capital: Critique of Political Economy)

"Capital: Critique of Political Economy" is a foundational work by Karl Marx, consisting of multiple volumes, with the first being the most famous. In it, Marx analyzes capitalism's economic systems, focusing on how capital (money and resources) influences social structures and relationships. He explores concepts like labor, value, exploitation, and the cyclical nature of economic crises. By critiquing political economy, Marx seeks to uncover the underlying dynamics and contradictions of capitalism, ultimately aiming to explain how wealth is distributed and the implications for society and class struggle.
