«El capital» is Karl Marx's essay on the critique of political economy, published by Alba in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
A central work of Marx's thought, it examines how capitalism works through the commodity, labour and value. It develops surplus value and the accumulation of capital, as well as the contradictions that lead to class struggle, in a critique of classical political economy that underpins Marxism.
Published in 1999, it belongs to the Alba Universal Literature collection (no. 116) and includes a selection from Das Kapital.
Suitable for readers interested in philosophy, economics and political theory who seek an introduction to Marx's thought.
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, social and political theorist, and revolutionary socialist. He developed the theory of historical materialism, analysing societal structure and change, particularly class struggle under capitalism, and predicting the system's ultimate replacement by communism. Marx co-authored The Communist Manifesto (1848) with Friedrich Engels, and undertook a critique of classical political economy in his magnum opus, Das Kapital (1867–1894). His ideas and their later development, collectively known as Marxism, have had enormous influence on intellectual, political, and social history, and have inspired revolutionary movements in many countries.
