El Capital
El Capital, principal obra de Carlos Marx, ha suscitado desde su aparición numerosas y diveras interpretaciones. Si bien ha contado con fieles discípulos, también sus detractores señalan la dificultad de una lectura clara y transparente del texto, a tal punto que lo califican de "indigesto".
El obstáculo de la lectura de este libro se supera en la presente versión a cargo de Gabriel Deville. Aquí se sintetiza la esencia del texto original y se respeta el método deductivo del que se valió el autor para llegar a sus más importantes conclusiones. De igual manera, se incluye, a modo de introducción, un estudio bio-bliográfico que ubica en el contexto histórico apropiado las ideas de Carlos Marx. Como complemento, se ofrece también un apéndice a cargo de Pablo Lafargue que plantea al lector un interesante marco de pensamiento económico en relación con las principales tesis de El Capital.
Das Kapital, Karl Marx's masterwork, is the book that above all others formed the twentieth century. From Kapital sprung the economic and political systems that in our time dominated half the earth and for half a century kept the world on the brink of war. Even today, one billion Chinese remain in the power of the Marxist system. Yet this important and powerful work has been passed over by many readers frustrated by Marx's difficult style and his preoccupation with nineteenth-century events of little relevance to today's reader. Now Serge Levitsky presents a new revised version of this masterpiece, carefully retranslated for the modern reader and abridged to emphasize the political and philosophical core of Marx's work, while trimming away much that is now unimportant. Here then is a fresh and highly readable version of a work whose ideas have influenced the lives of nearly every person alive today.

I thought it would be like a romantic and dreamy presentation of the socialism , but it wasn't so. The first chapters sounded very aggressive , instigating a fight of classes , and hate.
Further ahead , the book defined lots of terms and aspects of economy at a different way the capitalist world teaches.
That's all.

Totalmente interesante.
Por el año en el que está escrito puede resultar difícil con tantos términos, pero en definitiva vale la pena para formarte en temas de economía y sociedad
