081 - Part VIII The So-Called Primitive Accumulation--Chapter XXXII Historical Tendency of Capitalist Accu

Capital, Volume I marks the beginning of Karl Marx’s groundbreaking exploration of capitalist production, published in 1867. This essential work aims to unveil the underlying laws governing the capitalist mode of production and the class struggles intertwined within these social relations. Marx aspired to elevate political economy to a scientific level, articulating what he called the law of motion of modern society. By illustrating how capitalist development paves the way for a future socialist mode of production, he sought to lay a scientific groundwork for the modern labor movement. His extensive research spanned twelve years, primarily conducted in the British Museum in London. (Summary by Wikipedia)
