Capital | A Critique of Political Economy | Book 1 : The Process of Production of Capital
The Groundbreaking First Volume of Marx’s Masterwork—A Penetrating Analysis of Labour, Value and The Hidden Machinery of Capitalism First published in 1867, Capital stands as one of the most influential works of political economy ever written. In this foundational volume, Karl Marx examines the process of production, uncovering how value is created and how labour is transformed into profit. With rigorous analysis and remarkable clarity, he reveals the hidden structures that govern work, exchange, and accumulation. More than a study of economics, this volume is a profound inquiry into the forces that shape everyday life under capitalism, an enduring work that continues to challenge how we understand labour, value and power.
