{"product_id":"capital-volume-one","title":"Capital, Volume One","description":"Hailed by Friedrich Engels as \"the bible of the working class,\" this 1867 classic of political economics changed the course of history. Thirty years in the making, \u003ci\u003eCapital, Volume I\u003c\/i\u003e was the first installment of Karl Marx's three-part \u003ci\u003eDas Kapital \u003c\/i\u003eand the only volume published during his lifetime. Marx declared that society is evolving from crude, unbalanced economic systems toward a utopian state -- specifically, communism. His critiques of private property and class struggles aroused tremendous interest and exercised an influence that resonates to this day.\u003cbr\u003eMarx offers a penetrating analysis of capitalism's inner workings, examining commodities, value, money, and other factors related to the system's historic origins and contemporary functions. These considerations form the framework for his conclusion: the system cannot be reformed and must be overthrown by a revolution, resulting in a socialist society in which production serves the needs of every individual rather than generating profits for the few.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50868426080488,"sku":"9780486477480","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/9539\/3512\/files\/imageloader_a270a527-7abe-4202-8683-9ed20f00066d.jpg?v=1790358889","url":"https:\/\/kuumba-47muwsn1.myshopify.com\/products\/capital-volume-one","provider":"Kuumba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
