Marx’s Capital: Chapters 9-11 – Exploitation and the Working Day

Details Adam Booth logo 17 Jun 2014

We continue our series on Marx's Capital by looking at Chapters 9-11, in which Marx looks at the question of exploitation and the issue of the working day, opening up the roof of the factory and peering in to examine the conditions inside. What we see when we peek behind this magician’s curtain is a brutal history of exploitation and class struggle.

Marx’s Capital: Chapters 4-8 – Surplus Value

Details Adam Booth logo 05 Jun 2014

We continue our series looking at Marx's Capital. Having charted the historical development of commodity production and money in previous chapters, in chapters 4-8 Marx now turns his attention to the question that had stumped the classical economists: what is the source of profit within capitalism?

Marx’s Capital: Chapters 2-3 – Money

Details Adam Booth logo 21 May 2014

We continue our series of articles on Marx's Capital by looking at Chapters 2-3, in which Marx turned his attention to the question of money, explaining the various roles and functions that money plays in commodity production and exchange, and the relationship between money, commodities, and value.

Marx’s Capital: Chapter one – The Commodity

Details Adam Booth logo 08 May 2014

Karl Marx’s Capital is an undeniable masterpiece of political economy. Marx's magnum opus, however, remains a dense and difficult book to penetrate and absorb. To help guide readers through the pages of Capital we are publishing a series of articles that give a chapter by chapter analysis of this great Marxist classic. We begin with Volume One, Chapter One, in which Marx discusses the concept of the commodity and the question of value.

Capitalism and crisis

Details Nelson Wan, QMUL Marxists logo 02 Apr 2014
