Capital, A Critique of Political Economy
By Karl Marx
Capital, or Das Kapital, initially published in 1867 in Hamburg, Germany, is a fundamental theoretical book in materialist philosophy, economics and politics. Marx aimed to reveal the economic patterns underpinning the capitalist mode of production, in contrast to classical political economics. The book is an important text to Marxism, which is one of the guiding thoughts of the Communist Party of China.
