A landmark work of political economy by Karl Marx. Spanning three volumes, Das Kapital presents Marx's analysis of capitalism, examining how goods are produced, how labor creates value, the accumulation of capital, economic crises, and the relationships between workers and owners.

• Volume I focuses on the production of capital, labor, commodities, and surplus value.
• Volume II examines the circulation and reproduction of capital within the economy.
• Volume III explores profit, competition, credit, rent, and the overall dynamics of capitalist systems.

One of the most influential works in economics, sociology, political theory, and history, Das Kapital has shaped debates about capitalism, labor, inequality, and economic development for more than a century.
