DAS KAPITAL FÜR ANFÄNGER - Cartoon
von David Smith & Phil Evans übersetzt von Ulf Dammann
RORORO Sachbuch 1986



KARL MARX schrieb DAS KAPITAL nicht für die Bücheregale von Ökonomen und Philosophen.

DAS KAPITAL ist Volkswirtschaft für Lohnabhängige, geschrieben von ihrem Standpunkt aus. Ein klassisches Meisterwerk über ARBEIT, LOHN und ARBEITSLOSIGFKEIT, über FABRIKEN, MASCHINEN und WAREN, über GELD, PREISE und MEHRWERT, über AUSBEUTUNG, den Gegensatz zwischen UNTERNEHMERN und ARBEITERN und den Kampf für eine bessere Gesellschaft.

DAS KAPITAL FÜR ANFÄNGER macht Schluß mit dem Mythos von der Unzulänglichkeit des Marxschen Hauptbuches. Es übersetzt Schlüsselaussagen in die Gegenwart und unterstreicht den Witz und die enorme Vitalität, die Marx hier an den Tag legt.

English Original MARX’S KAPITAL FOR BEGINNERS (1982) David Smith & Phil Evans

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Imagine Karl Marx as a cartoonist, ready to set the record straight about his much maligned classic, Das Kapital. Impossibly difficult? Not in the least. Hopelessly outdated? Far from it. Though first published in 1867, Capital remains keenly relevant. Society continues to run on investment and profit, labor and technology. And predictions that once might have seemed rash — global economic crisis, societies nearing bankruptcy — are now simply facts. Capital remains the fullest attempt to explain these facts, and Marx’s Capital Illustrated brings this attempt to vibrant life, proceeding all the way from the ABCs to the pertinence of Marx’s theory of crisis for today's global woes.

Fresh, funny, and copiously illustrated, this book is for everyone who wants better insight into Capital and capitalism. Readers of Marx, unite! You have found your starting point.
