Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital (‘Capital’) -- A Critique of PoliticalEconomy
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
This 6 page report discusses Karl Marx (1818-83) and
one of his most important works, “Das Kapital.” Marx’s
fundamental assertion, in the most simple of terms, was that all
events are determined by economic forces. His analysis of
capitalist economy and his theories of historical materialism,
the class struggle, and the meaning of value evolved as the basis
of modern socialist doctrine. Those ideas are of decisive
importance with respect to revolutionary action, his theories on
the nature of the capitalist state, the road to power, and the
dictatorship of the proletariat. Most of those ideas and ideals
are captured in one of his most famous works “Das Kapital.”
Bibliography lists 6 sources.
