Unravelling Capitalism

More about the book

Karl Marx was the greatest critic of capitalism, yet his ideas are widely dismissed or misunderstood. But understanding Marx is indispensable for anyone who wants to grasp why capitalism is a system of exploitation, instability and repeated crises. Joseph Choonara here introduces readers to some crucial Marxist approaches - as developed above all in the three volumes of Capital. He also outlines how this can be applied to capitalism as it has developed since the 19th century.
