In this comprehensive analysis of capitalist economics and articulation of his theory of class conflict, Karl Marx (1818-1883) relentlessly argues that the accumulation of capital can only be achieved by bourgeoisie exploitation of the working classes. \u003cem\u003eDas Kapital\u003c\/em\u003e has not only changed history, but also human thought, becoming a foundational text in materialist philosophy, economics and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume includes \u003cem\u003eThe Communist Manifesto\u003c\/em\u003e, written with his friend and colleague, Frederick Engels, which not only envisions a wholly equal society in which neither property nor money exist, but suggests that this will be a natural and inevitable consequence of the class struggle that dominates human history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKarl Heinrich Marx\u003c\/strong\u003e (1818 - 1883) was a German-born philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist. He lived in poverty with his wife and four young children in a two-room flat in Soho, London, while writing \u003cem\u003eDas Kapital\u003c\/em\u003e. In 1845, he wrote, \"Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it,\" words that capture his spirit and are inscribed on his grave. Later in 1848, in \u003cem\u003eThe Manifesto of the Communist Party\u003c\/em\u003e, with Engels, he famously wrote: \"Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution.
