About this audiobook

In Capital: The Process of Capitalist Production as a Whole, Karl Marx completes his systematic critique of political economy by moving from the hidden production of surplus value to the visible forms through which capitalism appears to itself: profit, interest, rent, credit, and crisis. Dense, dialectical, and relentlessly analytical, the work exposes how social relations between people assume the mystified form of relations between things. As the culminating volume of Capital, it belongs to the nineteenth-century tradition of classical political economy while decisively overturning its assumptions. Marx wrote from a life shaped by exile, journalism, revolutionary politics, and painstaking study in the British Museum reading room. His engagement with Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and the industrial capitalism of Victorian Britain enabled him to see capitalism not as a natural order, but as a historically specific system marked by exploitation, contradiction, and periodic breakdown. Edited posthumously by Friedrich Engels, the book bears traces of Marx's unfinished manuscripts yet preserves the force of his mature thought. This volume is indispensable for readers seeking to understand capitalism beyond market appearances. Economists, historians, political theorists, and serious general readers will find in it a demanding but profoundly illuminating account of how capitalist society organizes wealth, power, and crisis. This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience. - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - An Author Biography reveals milestones in the author's life, illuminating the personal insights behind the text. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Hand‐picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
