Marx aimed to reveal the economic patterns underpinning the capitalist mode of production, in contrast to classical political economists such as Adam Smith, Jean-Baptiste Say, David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill. Marx did not live to publish the planned second and third parts, but they were both completed from his notes and published after his death by his colleague Friedrich Engels. Capital is the most cited book in the social sciences published before 1950. Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a famous German philosopher, economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. Review: Capitalism is essentially a scam. - I just finished reading Das Kapital yesterday. Sometimes, certain books carry with it a reputation that seems to take on a life of it's own. As a result, when reading a book like this, I try to get a feel for what people have said about it or what kind of insight they could provide as to it's contents by reading some it's reviews. One person says that it's a book with which you take your time. Indeed, it took me two and a half months to complete all three volumes, finishing on March 15th, incidentally a day after Marx's death in 1883. Another review says that along with texts like The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud or On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, Das Kapital is a text for which you'd be at a disadvantage for not reading. "These books are famous for a reason," the same reviewer said. Das Kapital is widely regarded as the most comprehensive, thorough and scientific analysis and criticism of capitalism. It utilizes algebraic equations which can be challenging and confusing, but certainly within the realm of comprehension. If capitalism were an engine, Karl Marx disassembled every piece of it, examined it, analyzed it, documented his findings, and envisioned a better, more efficient people-oriented (as opposed to profit-oriented) engine. Marx wasn't just an economist, but a historian, philosopher, journalist, political theorist, and Revolutionary Socialist. Both Marx and Engels studied labor conditions in a variety of fields of work, including agricultural and industrial. They studied the circulation of money and commodities. The works and ideas of Adam Smith (commonly referred to as the father of modern economics) are thoroughly dissected and analyzed. Modern economics dances around the source of surplus-value, which is labor power, and scrambles to attribute that source of value to everything but the laborer. It's backwards. It effectively reduces capitalism to a scam, composed with the intent to further enrich the already wealthy (capitalism is an evolved form of feudalism) by exploiting the labor of the working class. Reading it puts current events in a clearer context, and I understand it instinctively. Because we all know capitalism. As the working class, we all bear the brunt of our system, and instinctively understand all too well capitalism's many pitfalls. Our government was never designed to benefit the People, but rather the wealthy. This is definitely a book worth experiencing. - Drew ☭ Review: Understanding Macroeconomics - If you want to get a detailed look at how capitalism works from the top down, this is the book to read. I just wish they could have developed some solutions to improve capitalism. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #88,998 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #20 in Economic Theory (Kindle Store) #20 in Theory of Economics | ## Images ![The Capital: All 3 Volumes - Complete Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913RSZ14XQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Capitalism is essentially a scam. *by A***O on March 17, 2025* I just finished reading Das Kapital yesterday.

I’m not an economist, so the reading is slow for me as I work through it carefully to fully understand the material. If you’re interested in this classic, expect to approach it like a textbook. Overall, a solid and complete edition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/131100011-the-capital-all-3-volumes-complete-edition](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/131100011-the-capital-all-3-volumes-complete-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
