Das Kapital (Volume I, II, III)

*Das Kapital* by Karl Marx critically analyzes capitalism, focusing on how value is created through labor. Volume I examines how commodities generate value and explores surplus value—the extra value workers produce beyond their wages that capitalists profit from. Volume II discusses the circulation of capital, explaining how money turns into goods and back again, maintaining the system. Volume III examines the broader structure and crises within capitalism, including profit rates and economic fluctuations. Overall, the work scrutinizes how profit-driven production influences society, workers, and economic stability, aiming to reveal the underlying dynamics of capitalist economies.
