A facsimile reproduction from the original manuscript of Das Kapital by influential German philosopher and economist Karl Marx. This monumental work is the central dogma of Marxist economics.

The 19th century German philosopher and social commentator who is regarded as the founder of modern communism. He collaborated with Friedrich Engels in the writing of The Communist Manifesto (1848) which envisaged the classless society, and then enlarged his theories in his best known work Das Kapital. In these volumes he explained ‘the labour theory of value,’ that the worker is more important than the capitalist who exploits his labour.
