Capital | A Critique of Political Economy | Book 2: The Process of Circulation of Capital

A penetrating exploration of how capital circulates and reproduces itself, Capital, Book 2 reveals the hidden mechanisms that keep the capitalist system in perpetual motion. In the second volume of Capital, Karl Marx shifts focus from production to circulation, tracing how capital moves, reproduces, and sustains itself across systems of exchange. Here, the dynamics of flow, between commodities, money, and labour, are brought into sharp relief. Building on the foundations of Volume I, this volume deepens Marx’s critique by revealing the complex mechanisms that keep the capitalist system in motion, offering readers a more complete understanding of its structure and continuity.
