About The Book: This book presents a critique of private property and examines the social relations that it generates. The central argument put forth is that capitalism, as a system based on private ownership, leads to a growing disparity in wealth and well-being. The book predicts that this division will continue to escalate and ultimately advocates for the abolition of capitalism, advocating instead for a new system characterized by collective ownership of the means of production. About The Author: Karl Heinrich Marx FRSA (1818–1883) was a philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist, and critic of political economy. Born in Germany, he is widely recognized as a revolutionary socialist. Among his most renowned works are The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, and Das Kapital, a three-volume work written between 1867 and 1894. The latter extensively utilizes his theory of historical materialism to analyze capitalism and is considered his most significant intellectual accomplishment. Marx's ideas laid the foundation for Marxism and have had a profound impact on subsequent intellectual, economic, and political developments throughout history.
