Marx's capital explained by its greatest expositor in simple and understandable terms.

Marx's Capital is one of the most important texts of the modern era. The three volumes, published between 1867 and 1883, changed the destiny of countries, policies and people around the world, and even today they continue to resonate. In this book, David Harvey analyzes and exposes the key arguments of this colossal trilogy. In clear and concise language, Harvey describes the architecture of capital according to Marx's analysis, placing his observations in the context of capitalism in the second half of the nineteenth century. In this sense, the author considers that the significant technological, economic and industrial changes during the last 150 years could force an adaptation and modification of Marx's analysis and its practical application.

Marx's trilogy refers to the circulation of capital; volume I, on how labor increases the value of capital, what he called valuation; volume II, on the realization of this security, selling it and converting it into money or credit; finally, volume III, on what happens with the next value in the distribution processes. The three volumes contain the core of Marx's thought on the functioning and history of capital and capitalism. David Harvey studies and details the profound insights and enormous analytical power that, without compromising its depth and complexity, they continue to offer to any reader, even those new to Marx's thought.
