{"product_id":"das-kapital-a-critique-of-political-economy-9780895267115","title":"Das Kapital: A Critique of Political Economy","description":"\u003ci\u003eDas Kapital\u003c\/i\u003e, Karl Marx's seminal work, is the book that above all others formed the twentieth century. From \u003ci\u003eKapital\u003c\/i\u003e sprung the economic and political systems that at one time dominated half the earth and for nearly a century kept the world on the brink of war. Even today, more than one billion Chinese citizens live under a regime that proclaims fealty to Marxist ideology. Yet this important tome has been passed over by many readers frustrated by Marx's difficult style and his preoccupation with nineteenth-century events of little relevance to today's reader. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere Serge Levitsky presents a revised version of \u003ci\u003eKapital\u003c\/i\u003e, abridged to emphasize the political and philosophical core of Marx's work while trimming away much that is now unimportant. Pointing out Marx's many erroneous predictions about the development of capitalism, Levitsky's introduction nevertheless argues for \u003ci\u003eKapital's\u003c\/i\u003e relevance as a prime example of a philosophy of economic determinism that subordinates the problems of human freedom and human dignity to the issues of who should own the means of production and how wealth should be distributed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere then is a fresh and highly readable version of a work whose ideas provided inspiration for communist regimes' ideological war against capitalism, a struggle that helped to shape the world today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-1500440\"\u003eKarl Marx\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gateway Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.44w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780895267115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 089526711X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI009000\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Surveys | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL005000\"\u003ePolitical Ideologies | Communism, Post-Communism \u0026amp; Socialism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gateway Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42705020125421,"sku":"9780895267115","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c1722ea6-9f91-41d8-bbba-3eb3bb7e61e2.jpg?v=1650007416","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/das-kapital-a-critique-of-political-economy-9780895267115","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
