Homonym: Капитал (Wealth)
"Капитал" (or "Das Kapital") is a foundational text in Marxist theory, written by Karl Marx. First published in 1867, it analyzes the capitalist system, focusing on how labor, production, and capital interact. Marx critiques the exploitation of workers and the accumulation of wealth by capitalists, arguing that this leads to social inequality.
The book is divided into three volumes, with the first volume discussing the commodity, money, and labor. The subsequent volumes, published posthumously, delve into the dynamics of capital accumulation and the capitalist mode of production. "Капитал" remains influential in economics, sociology, and political theory.
