About this title

Synopsis

Capital: A Critique Of Political Economy V2: The Process Of Circulation Of Capital (1908) is a seminal work by the renowned philosopher and economist, Karl Marx. The book is the second volume of Marx's magnum opus, Capital, and focuses on the process of circulation of capital in a capitalist system. In this volume, Marx delves into the complex mechanisms of the capitalist economy, examining how capital is accumulated, invested, and circulated. He explores the role of money, credit, and banking in the circulation of capital, and discusses the various forms of capital, such as fixed and circulating capital. Marx also analyzes the relationship between the capitalist and the worker, highlighting the exploitation and alienation that occurs under capitalism. He argues that the capitalist system is inherently unstable, and that crises and recessions are inevitable consequences of the system's contradictions. Overall, Capital: A Critique Of Political Economy V2: The Process Of Circulation Of Capital is a groundbreaking work of economic theory that continues to influence contemporary debates about capitalism, inequality, and social justice. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the workings of the global economy and the forces that shape our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

From the Back Cover

A classic of early modernism, Capital combines vivid historical detail with economic analysis to produce a bitter denunciation of mid-Victorian capitalist society. It has also proved to be the most influential work in social science in the twentieth century; Marx did for social science what Darwin had done for biology. Millions of readers this century have treated Capital as a sacred text, subjecting it to as many different interpretations as the Bible itself. No mere work of dry economics, Marx's great work depicts the unfolding of industrial capitalism as a tragic drama - with a message which has lost none of its relevance today. This is the only abridged edition to take account of the whole of Capital. It offers virtually all of Volume 1, which Marx himself published in 1867, excerpts from a new translation of 'The Result of the Immediate Process of Production', and a selection of key chapters from Volume 3, which Engels published in 1895.
