Capital

Originally published in 1867, this landmark work of political theory lays out the principles of Marxist economics and critiques capitalism as an exploitative system. Marx and Engels offer a comprehensive analysis of the relationships between labor, capital, and power, and they argue that the class struggle will eventually lead to the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist society. This book remains a foundational text for socialist and communist movements around the world, and it continues to influence debates about economic inequality and political power.
