The Capital a Masterpiece....not really. Hegel's work is more complete than Marx and Engel's. And there is a lot of ideas that dosen't work because of the eurocentric perspective of the book.
But it is an interesting point of view of the economic and cultural sistem of western civilization.
Not really a guide book. Only as one in a larger bibliografy.

Man, the comments on this thing is trash. The same complaints repeated ad nauseam every chapter.

@ZeonII Sadly yes. I think it's fine to call it one of the most historically impactful economic books out of all time, but seeing as Marx's theories had some serious errors when applied to the real world (like not understanding the roles of companies and capital in an economy and the importance of initiative). I think it's incredibly disrespectful to the countless of people who died due to said inaccurate theories to call the book a ''masterpiece'', implying that there's no room for improvement but I guess we're in current year and that shit doesn't matter anymore.

@Yautja I'm sure Marx found his book to be a masterpiece, it must've been so good that he couldn't get a job and feed his children and would rather watch his kids starve to death under the candlelight. Such an excellent choice of a role-model for many people in our generation, no wonder they turn out as such functional members of society.

@Elbow your argument is just "it's wrong and communism bad" but aside from "people died because of it"(witch is not entirely true) you can not provide a healthy argument as to why it's wrong. also Marx's theory only serves as basis of communism and do not fully represent it.

eyooo shoutout to my boy Marx, Kapital Vol. 1 is indeed considered a literary masterpiece at least by David Harvey https://jacobinmag.com/2018/07/karl-marx-capital-david-harvey btw Marx died before he finished finished Capital, he only finished the first volume, the second and third volumes were not completed.

@Elbow to add on to @ZeonII's comment, Marxist theory and literature is incredibly expansive and absolutely not limited to the authoritarian communist regimes of the 20th century. Most people who compare communism negatively to capitalism also don't acknowledge the extent to which the US has obliterated democratically-elected governments throughout the world for the past century in the name of capitalism (#BoliviaCoup), to which IMF-imposed austerity measures have destroyed developing economies and capitalism itself kills the environment; and yes people die from this.

also check out this youtube channel where this british guy talks to people who used to live in the soviet union, they overwhelmingly recall it positively, even one woman whose family was killed during the Stalinist purges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50pQHccrlHg the soviet union that Americans have been taught to fear is primarily under Stalin who died in 1953 (perhaps as a comparison, consider whether you base your evaluation of the USA solely on its role in perpetrating genocide against Amerindians). Post-Stalin USSR and other 20th century communist states all have vibrant and nuanced histories with both promising and awful moments, unfortunately these histories continue to be obscured by anti-communist propaganda in America (to be clear I am not condoning authoritarianism).

@denim authoritarianism in soviet union was a necessary measure to enforce law and stabilize economy in a war/post war periods. people forgetting that during Stalin's regime USSR population increased, economy skyrocketed and things like mandatory education, free healthcare and normalized workdays became a norm.

@ZeonII for sure there was a lot of good in the soviet union and i alluded to that in my previous comment i think. but i am still not down for authoritarianism because of the real human costs. I don't know enough to confidently suggest an alternative would have been possible for that period of time but i think it's a good thing people are now actively seriously considering the necessity of democracy and popular participation to socialism/communism. Vote for bernie everyone
