EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare and historic edition of Das Kapital, also known as Capital, written by the influential German philosopher, political theorist, and socialist revolutionary, Karl Marx. Published in 1867 as the first volume of his magnum opus, A Critique of Political Economy, Das Kapital is a foundational text in materialist philosophy, economics, and politics. The image captures the 1929 edition of this seminal work, which has been a cornerstone of Marxist and communist thought for over a century. Marx, born in 1818 in Prussia, was a bearded intellectual with a profound impact on European history. He was a journalist, historian, economist, sociologist, and philosopher, whose ideas on dialectical materialism, labor exploitation, and capitalism have shaped the political and economic discourse of the modern world. The cover of this edition, adorned with the title "Das Kapital," is a testament to the enduring influence of Marx's ideas, which continue to inspire scholars, activists, and revolutionaries to this day. The photograph, taken by Prisma Archivo Fotografico, captures the essence of Marx's legacy, as well as the historical context of 19th-century Europe, where the seeds of communist and socialist ideologies were sown. The image invites us to reflect on the profound impact of Marx's work on the Western world, and the ongoing debates and discussions that continue to surround his ideas. Whether you are a historian, economist, philosopher, or simply curious about the intellectual history of the modern world, this photograph of Das Kapital is a must-see.
