Marx’s ‘Das Kapital’ cannot be put into a box marked “economics.” It is a work of politics, history, economics, philosophy and even in places, literature (yes Marx’s style is that rich and evocative). Marx’s ‘Das Kapital’ For Beginners is an introduction to the Marxist critique of capitalist production and its consequences for a whole range of social activities such as politics, media, education and religion. ‘Das Kapital’ is not a critique of a particular capitalist system in a particular country at a particular time. Rather, Marx’s aim was to identify the essential features that define capitalism, in whatever country it develops and in whatever historical period. For this reason, ‘Das Kapital’ is necessarily a fairly general, abstract analysis. As a result, it can be fairly difficult to read and comprehend. At the same time, understanding ‘Das Kapital’ is crucial for mastering Marx’s insights to capitalism. Marx’s ‘Das Kapital’ For Beginners offers an accessible path through Marx’s arguments and his key questions: What is commodity? Where does wealth come from? What is value? What happens to work under capitalism? Why is crisis part of capitalism’s DNA? And what happens to our consciousness, our very perceptions of reality and our ways of thinking and feeling under capitalism? Understanding and learn from Marx’s work has taken on a fresh urgency as questions about the sustainability of the capitalist system in today’s global economy intensify.Marx’s ‘Das Kapital’ For Beginners is written by Michael Wayne and published by For Beginners.
