Analyzing the capitalist mode of production, this seminal work by Karl Marx delves into the inherent class struggles and social relations tied to private property. Written during his exile in England, Marx draws on local examples to illustrate his arguments. He posits that capitalism fosters a growing divide between wealth and societal welfare, advocating for a system of common ownership of production means as a solution. The first volume, part of an ambitious unfinished series, gained rapid influence across Russia, Europe, and beyond, reshaping economic thought.
