Das Kapital
Das Kapital | Karl Marx
One of the most notorious works of modern times, as well as one of the most influential, "Capital" is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis and generate fresh insights. Arguing that capitalism would create an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. "Capital" rapidly acquired readership among the leaders of social democratic parties, particularly in Russia and Germany, and ultimately throughout the world, to become a work described by Marx's friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels as 'the Bible of the Working Class'.

#thankfulThursday @Cosmos_Moon

Ugh, non-readers in my family. I think my mother had to read the tagged book for a university class.

1) Pippi Longstocking intro
2) Yoga pants 😁 No appointments today until very late in the day.

Cosmos_Moon_River Ooo, interesting, Karl Marx. I‘ve always been curious about him, but have never read any. 4y
batsy It's a great read! 😁 4y
Cosmos_Moon_River @nasty @julesG Well.. my library has it on Hoopla audiobook, and I just checked it out. It‘s less than 3 hours, just a quick listen on my work commutes! They have a few other Marx available, too. 4y

julesG @Cosmos_Moon It's not a very big book, but I sure wouldn't read it for recreational purposes. 😁 4y
Cosmos_Moon_River 😂 I'm a big nerd, and while I love flying through a good fiction, I read some pretty dry academic books somewhat often. I have started mostly doing the more academic non-fictions as audiobooks because I don't get hung up on jargon as much and I can read while I drive or work on a puzzle. I am reading one addiction psychology hard copy right now, though. (edited) 4y
julesG @Cosmos_Moon Maybe I should insert a non-fiction sometimes. Might be as interesting as the literotica I sometimes listen to. 😆😜 4y
Cosmos_Moon_River 😂 😂 😂 Literotica! I didn't even know that was a word 😂 Kind of reminds me of when my friends and I turned 18 and we thought it was funny to go into porn shops... I bought some novellas, one was called “Track Meat“. I was a track runner, so I thought it would be fun. 4y
