Publisher Summary

In his monumental work, Das Kapital, Karl Marx (1818-1883) tried to show that capitalism was both inefficient and immoral. His key to explaining capitalism is his labor theory of value, which he developed from ideas of Adam Smith and David Ricardo.

Marx argued that all profit, rent, and interest are surplus-value, obtained by paying workers less than the value of their products. He maintained that the living conditions of the workers always tend to deteriorate, that competition automatically creates monopoly, and that the business cycle demonstrates the wastefulness of capitalism.

Reader Reviews for: Karl Marx: Das Kapital

3 out of 5
Review by Rick from Quebec, QC, Canada | 6/5/2011

It's an interesting and informative little book that explains a bit about Marx, his beliefs and what he presents in 'Das Kapital.' It's nice that it tries to stay more or less neutral on the topic of communism and explain the information as it is.

Review by RJ from Chicago, IL | 5/5/2007

1) I'm a UofC econ guy, sorry, Karl.
2) Far too many holes in his logic, some of his points are good, but he makes strange jumps in my opinion.
