Capital: a critique of political economy

[Jessica]

A book written by [Karl Marx] and published in [1867] that deals with the development of capitalism and its problems. It is generally highly admired for its foresight of how capitalism would eventually develop over time.
Note that Capital: A Critique of Political Economy is purely criticizing the status quo, predicting its development and pinpointing its problems, while the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or simply [Communist Manifesto]) offers possible solutions to these problems.
