Abstract

The main aim of Marx’s Das Kapital: Kritik der Politischen Ökonomie is to understand the conditions that make possible the existence and growth of capital on the basis of the exploitation of labour. Marx treated capital’s ‘formation’ and reproduction in three volumes detailing the production of capital (Volume I), the circulation of capital (Volume II) and the unity of the ‘the process as a whole’ (Volume III). Of the three volumes, Marx published only the first as Capital, Volume I (1867). Selections from the second and third volumes were edited and sometimes interpolated by Engels who published them after Marx’s death as Volume II (1885) and Volume III (1894).
