Marx’s ‘Das Kapital’ cannot be put into a box marked “economics.” It is a work of politics, history, economics, philosophy, and even literature. 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. The book offers an accessible path through Marx’s arguments and his key questions. Marx’s work has taken on a fresh urgency as questions about the sustainability of the capitalist system in today’s global economy intensify.
