Marx's Capital Volume 1 stands on its own as a complete book. It offers a comprehensive account of the workings of capital, as well as testimony of how capitalism was endured in its rough beginnings in England and France at the dawn of the industrial revolution. Luckily, Marx offers knowledge of political economy that serves any committed reader or student, regardless of political motivation or political orientation. This is because the tone of Marx's Capital is not revolutionary or political at all. Instead, Marx tries to be as objective as possible in presenting theoretical understanding of how money is made by a capitalist enterprise, especially from the perspective of production. Although Marx originally intended Capital to serve the working class to give them conceptual tools to understand their plight as working poor, Marx also serves as a valuable complement to business students to help them clarify concepts that are commonly taught in business school, such as MBA. Marx's asset to the business world is that he is thorough and insightful in giving us an accurate understanding of the fundamentals of why business works the way it does, and therefore, why business has been the dominant method of securing wealth for a society and managing resources according to rational principles and motives. In short, anyone can benefit from reading Marx's Capital, even if it is just purely an academic interest. In particular, business people can benefit from reading Marx to more deeply understand why business and capitalism have been so successful in the modern contemporary world.Read full review
