Understanding Marx and Capital

Emancipation is the real thread running through Marx's thought. He's not concerned with capitalism, or Marxism for that matter, but with capital: it's this fundamental notion that we need to return to in order to understand Marx's thought and communism. This also requires resituating the richness of his argumentation in the light of his life's journey, rather than the myth that has been forged around the father of "Marxism". Denis Collin helps us understand Marx's ideas and why he deserves to be considered one of humanity's greatest thinkers.

Denis Collin is a professor of philosophy and holds a doctorate in literature and humanities. His books include Morale et justice sociale (Éditions du Seuil, 2001), Revive la République (Armand Colin, 2005), Le Cauchemar de Marx (Max Milo, 2009) and La Longueur de la chaîne (Max Milo, 2011).

Yves Rouvière also illustrated Freud (Hervé Castanet, Max Milo, 2011) for the "Understanding/Graphic Essay" collection.
