Capital The Process Of Capitalist Production As A Whole

First published in 1867, Capital, or Das Kapital, is the infamous treatise on economics and capitalism by Prussian revolutionary KARL MARX (1818-1883), who changed history with his 1848 book The Communist Manifesto. In this work, edited by Marx's friend, German philosopher FRIEDRICH ENGELS (1820-1895), Marx systematically analyzes the way the capitalist machine functions. In this academic work written for students and serious thinkers, he explores wages, competition, banking, rent, and the natural laws that seem to govern the development of capitalism without any oversight by the society in which it developed. Originally published in three volumes, Capital is here presented in five volumes. Volume III, Part 1 covers: . The Conversion of Surplus-Value into Profit and of the Rate of Surplus-Value into the Rate of Profit . Conversion of Profit into Average Profit . The Law of the Falling Tendency of the Rate of Profit . Transformation of Commodity-Capital and Money-Capital Into Commercial Capital and Financial Capital . Division of Profit Into Interest and Profits of Enterprise

This edition includes the complete four volumes of Capital, by Karl Marx: -Volume I: The Process of Production of Capital -Volume II: The Process of Circulation of Capital -Volume III: The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole -Volume IV: Theories of Surplus-Value Das Kapital, also known as "Capital: A Critique of Political Economy" or sometimes simply "Capital" (German: Das Kapital. Kritik der politischen Ökonomie, 1867–1883), is a foundational theoretical text in materialist philosophy, critique of political economy and politics by Karl Marx. 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. While Marx did not live to publish the planned second and third parts, they were both completed from his notes and published after his death by his colleague Friedrich Engels. Das Kapital is the most cited book published before 1950 in the social sciences.

Capital: The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole was prepared by Friedrich Engels from notes left by Karl Marx and published in 1894. Das Kapital is best known today for this part, which says that as the organic fixed capital requirements of production rise as a result of advancements in production generally, the rate of profit tends to fall. Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a famous German philosopher, economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, journalist and revolutionary socialist.
