EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the title page of Karl Marx's groundbreaking work, "Das Kapital," published in 1867. Marx, a German philosopher, economist, and revolutionary socialist, is considered one of the most influential figures in modern history. "Das Kapital," which means "Capital: Critique of Political Economy" in German, is a three-volume set that critiques the economic theories of Adam Smith and other classical economists. It presents an alternative perspective, arguing that the exploitation of the proletariat (working class) by the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) is the root cause of social and economic conflict. Marx began writing "Das Kapital" in the late 1850s, but it wasn't until 1867 that the first volume was published. Marx continued to revise and expand the work until his death in 1883. The publication of "Das Kapital" had a profound impact on the development of socialist and communist thought. It influenced figures such as Vladimir Lenin, Mao Zedong, and Che Guevara, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars and activists today. The title page of "Das Kapital" is a significant historical artifact, reflecting the intellectual and political climate of the time. The bold, ornate typography and the image of a pair of hands holding a balance scale symbolize the idea of justice and the pursuit of economic equality. The publication of "Das Kapital" marked a turning point in the history of economic thought, and this title page serves as a reminder of Marx's enduring influence on our understanding of capitalism and its consequences.
