Capital

Volume 1
Karl Marx
Penguin Books in association with New Left Review (Penguin Random House) · 1152 pages
★ 7.5 editorial score

Workers create more value than their wages return, Marx argues, and that gap is profit. No economic book has reshaped politics more, and the chapter on the working day still burns.

“From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs!”

Karl Marx
Quote · 1894

“What I mean by Socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain-sick brain workers nor heart-sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all-the realization at last of the meaning of the word commonwealth.”
