First published in 1867, Capital, or Das Kapital, is the infamous
treatise on economics and capitalism by Prussian revolutionary KARL MARX
(1818-1883), who changed history with his 1848 book The Communist
Manifesto. In this work, edited by Marx's friend, German philosopher
FRIEDRICH ENGELS (1820-1895), Marx systematically analyzes the way the
capitalist machine functions. In this academic work written for students
and serious thinkers, he explores wages, competition, banking, rent, and
the natural laws that seem to govern the development of capitalism
without any oversight by the society in which it developed. Originally
published in three volumes, Capital is here presented in five volumes.
Volume III, Part 2 covers: . Transformation of Surplus Profit into
Ground-Rent . The Revenues and Their Sources
