Reviews

The tragic philosophical foundations of capitalist global societ


(5 stars)

To understand Marx's research method and the author's method of presenting and analyzing the fundamental categories of political economy criticism, a careful reading of this work is a prerequisite. The philosophical foundations and theoretical foundations of Capital must be found in this work. Any analysis of the pressing realities of the contemporary world without mentioning these works is not worthy of attention. This is not a holy book, but a guide to the transition from it and the capitalist world.

I appreciate the paste and references to footnotes and the explanations of the historical context.
