Book, Capital, O (summary by Julian Borchardt) 8/18[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. The classic edition of Karl Marx's Capital, summarized by Julian Borchardt, is the best introduction to one of the most influential and complex books of modern human thought. Borchardt's main merit, which makes his edition still translated and read today, is resisting the tendency to interpret and simplify the ideas of the entire work. Instead, Borchardt selected and reordered the passages that deal with the main Marxist concepts, avoiding repetitions and clarifying only specific, more obscure passages from the original text. In this way, the Marxist concepts of surplus value, merchandise, accumulation, value, price, work and capital become accessible to everyone who studies the history of economic and philosophical thought and is interested in the political history of the last two centuries, as well as to those who want to have a first contact with the thoughts of Karl Marx.
