In this first volume, Karl Marx presents a sweeping and systematic critique of political economy, dissecting the nature of commodities, labour, surplus value, and capital accumulation to reveal the hidden mechanisms of exploitation embedded within the foundations of modern industrial society. Translated from the third German edition by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling, and edited by Friedrich Engels, this English rendering preserves the full force of Marx's original argument while making it accessible to a broader readership.\n\nA cornerstone of socialist thought and one of the most influential works of the 19th century, Capital stands as both a rigorous work of economic theory and a searing indictment of the social order it chronicles. Marx's prose moves between dense analytical argument and vivid historical illustration, drawing on factory reports, parliamentary inquiries, and classical economists to build an irrefutable case. His concept of surplus value alone revolutionised how generations of thinkers understood wealth, poverty, and power — and the questions he raises about who truly benefits from the labour of others remain as urgent and unsettling today as when he first posed them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203398803675,"sku":"2026200013946-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a10eff31-bf3c-45f8-ae97-fdcb041bcb22.png?v=1788148674","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013946-secondhand-capital-a-critical-analysis-of-capitalist-production","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
