by Karl Marx, N. I. Stone (Translator)

Overview

This pioneering 1859 deconstruction of capitalism and classical economics includes many of the ideas later incorporated into Marx’s masterwork, Das Kapital.

About the Author

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German political philosopher, writer, and revolutionary.  With Friedrich Engels (1820-1895), he wrote The Communist Manifesto (1848), perhaps the most influential political tract since The Declaration of Independence.  Living in England, he composed his masterpiece, Das Kapital (1867-94), a comprehensive history and critique of capitalism.
