Description

The third volume of a political treatise that changed the world

Unfinished on the time of Marx’s death in 1883 and first published with a preface by Frederick Engels in 1894, the third volume of Capital strives to combine the theories and concepts of the two previous volumes with a purpose to prove conclusively that capitalism is inherently unworkable as a permanent system for society. Here, Marx controversially asserts that—without reference to the efforts of individual capitalists, public authorities or even generous philanthropists—any market economy is inevitably doomed to endure a series of worsening, explosive crises leading after all to complete collapse. But he also offers an inspirational and compelling prediction; that the end of capitalism will culminate in the birth of a far greater type of society.
