Marx's Capital Illustrated: An Illustrated Introduction

Marx's Capital Illustrated: An Illustrated Introduction

<div>Imagine Karl Marx as a cartoonist, ready to set the record straight about his much maligned classic, <I>Das Kapital</I>. Impossibly difficult? Not in the least. Hopelessly outdated? Far from it. Though first published in 1867, <I>Capital</I> remains keenly relevant. Society continues to run on investment and profit, labor and technology. And predictions that once might have seemed rash-global economic crisis, societies nearing bankruptcy-are now simply facts. <I>Capital</I> remains the fullest attempt to explain these facts, and <I>Marx's Capital Illustrated</I> brings this attempt to vibrant life, proceeding all the way from the ABCs to the pertinence of Marx's theory of crisis for today's global woes.<br><br>Fresh, funny, and copiously illustrated, this book is for everyone who wants better insight into Capital and capitalism. Readers of Marx, unite! You have found your starting point.</div>
