Capital: Volume III
DETAILED SUMMARY / BACK COVER
The third volume of Das Kapital, published posthumously in 1894 with a preface by Frederick Engels, builds on Marx’s earlier works to argue that capitalism is fundamentally unsustainable. Marx controversially claims that no matter the efforts of capitalists, authorities, or philanthropists, market economies are destined to face escalating crises, ultimately leading to their collapse. However, he also envisions a hopeful future where capitalism’s end gives rise to a superior society.
