«El capital» is Karl Marx's essay on economic and philosophical critique, published by El Público in paperback (255 pages, in Spanish).
The text studies the capitalist mode of production starting from the commodity, value, and labor. It explains the origin of surplus value and shows how the accumulation of capital produces internal contradictions. In doing so, it lays the foundations for a critique of political economy that questions the capitalist social order.
Published in 2008 and classified within the categories of philosophy and economics.
For readers interested in Marx's work and in how the capitalist system functions.
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, social and political theorist, and revolutionary socialist. He developed the theory of historical materialism, analysing societal structure and change, particularly class struggle under capitalism, and predicting the system's ultimate replacement by communism. Marx co-authored The Communist Manifesto (1848) with Friedrich Engels, and undertook a critique of classical political economy in his magnum opus, Das Kapital (1867–1894). His ideas and their later development, collectively known as Marxism, have had enormous influence on intellectual, political, and social history, and have inspired revolutionary movements in many countries.
