The Capital - Unveiling the Economic Realities of Capitalism and Class Struggle

Karl Marx

Translator Frederick Engels, Samuel Moore, Edward Aveling, Eleanor Marx

Summary

Karl Marx's "The Capital" is a foundational text in the critique of political economy, intricately exploring the mechanics of capitalism and its socio-economic implications. Through a meticulous examination of capital accumulation, labor exploitation, and commodity fetishism, Marx employs a dialectical method that intertwines philosophical rigor with empirical observation. Engaging with the intellectual currents of the 19th century, including Hegelian thought and classical economics, Marx not only critiques the capitalist system but also seeks to unveil the underlying class relations that perpetuate inequality. The work'Äôs dense yet richly layered prose invites readers to dissect the multifaceted relationship between labor and capital, making it essential for understanding the dynamics of modern economies. Karl Marx, born in 1818 in what is now Germany, was a philosopher, economist, and revolutionary socialist whose life experiences and personal political struggles profoundly influenced his writing. Witnessing the profound socio-economic changes spurred by the Industrial Revolution, Marx sought to articulate the discontent of the working class and analyze the systems that perpetuate their plight. His collaborations with Friedrich Engels, and later experiences in exile, helped craft the ideas that culminated in "The Capital," which remains a critical lens for understanding capitalist society. This seminal work is not merely an academic endeavor; it is a call to awareness and action. "The Capital" is essential for scholars, activists, and anyone seeking to comprehend the intricacies of economic systems and their impact on daily life. Highly recommended for readers interested in economics, sociology, and history, Marx's analysis offers a crucial perspective on contemporary socio-economic challenges that resonate to this day.

Walking The Road To Recovery - 9...

Michael A Muhammad

This book is like a walk in the park chat about my journey through drug addiction. It tells the story of how we got started at the early age of 10 years old smoking marijuana. For fourteen years of my life, this led to the hallucinogens, snorting cocaine, drinking alcohol and that dangerous monster; crack cocaine. We were able to come through this dangerous lifestyle and live to document the steps that we were able to take to free ourselves from this living hell. We are honored to share this process in hopes that we can reach the hearts and minds of all who will walk this path with us, as we are now 29 years free and clear of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes as a result of "Walking The Road To Recovery; 9 Steps In Motion. Enjoy.

Foolproof - Why Misinformation...

Sander van der Linden

From fake news to conspiracy theories, from inflammatory memes to misleading headlines, misinformation has swiftly become the defining problem of our era. The crisis threatens the integrity of our democracies, our ability to cultivate trusting relationships, even our physical and psychological well-being—yet most attempts to combat it have proven insufficient. 
 
 
 
With remarkable clarity, Sander van der Linden explains why our brains are so vulnerable to misinformation. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds, exploiting shortcuts in how we see and process information to alter our beliefs, modify our memories, and replicate at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, it's very hard to cure. 
 
 
 
But we aren't helpless. As van der Linden shows based on award-winning original research, we can cultivate immunity through the innovative science of "prebunking": inoculating people against false information by preemptively exposing them to a weakened dose, thus empowering them to identify and fend off its manipulative tactics. Deconstructing the characteristic techniques of conspiracies and misinformation, van der Linden gives listeners practical tools to defend themselves and others against nefarious persuasion—whether at scale or around their own dinner table.

The First Book on Recruiting...

Metodieva Ilona

In this book I talk about my journey from freelance recruiter to the head of my own agency, share my checklists and tell you why I focus on professionalism rather than making money. If you follow this path with me in the book, you will learn what principles the recruitment guru professes, and you will be able to use my insights and experience to create your own start-up. There are two checklists waiting for you in the appendix at the end of the book. However, no successful entrepreneur (even if they claim otherwise) can pack the secret of their triumph into a case study. Success cannot be turned into a science because... everyone is different. It's as simple as that. Different company employees, different clients, different days of the year. My task is to inspire you and help you organize your actions on the road to success by suggesting obvious moves. Over the years, I have built up a unique wealth of experience and knowledge which I would like to share with you. I do the bookkeeping, the paperwork, working with clients, responding to enquiries with quotations, and managing the company. I recently started a series of interviews with renowned experts to impart my professional experience not only to myself, but also to my partners and teachers. Today ADS has been on the market for 7 years, and we continue to improve our skills daily. No one has ever written a book on recruiting research respondents. This one is the first. I see this book as a methodological guide for work related to recruiting research respondents and as a source of inspiration for those who are still dreaming of their own business. You can also learn from the book how not to recruit respondents. I also have a simple desire to help entrepreneurs and professionals in the field of research, branding and customer experience to understand that recruiting respondents is the most important part of research. And customer experience research is the key to a company's success in the marketplace. Respondent recruitment is the mechanism by which we find research participants. Quality recruitment ensures that the research results are buyer-oriented, which means that a product (or an updated version of it) will come to market that will be in demand. Until recently, there has been little hope for recruitment, the value of this research tool has too often been ignored. My experience is that the right respondent is the right output data and a brilliant product decision and, as a result, the product's market leadership. As soon as I found myself in recruitment, I realised that this was my vocation and this was where I wanted to grow and develop. This feeling led me and I enjoyed delving into all the intricacies, constantly striving for excellence. Every day I am growing as a professional and discovering new things. I used to manage 30 projects at the same time. Today I have automated many parallel processes, which has increased the quality and speed of our services. I have been able to free up time that had been wasted on mechanical operations to be able to think and observe. As I have changed, the market has transformed with me. Soon after founding ADS, competitors began to enter the market and the competition with them became an additional motivation to move forward. With every word of this book, I want to convey how important it is to do what you like without looking back at others and to improve in your chosen direction. I will try to demonstrate by example how important it is to find your niche and stick to your chosen path, without turning off the beaten track, no matter how tempting it may be for the unsophisticated starter. Of course, after a few years of working in one place, burnout may set in. However, it is possible to get through it if you realise in your head that you are working for your vocation, and discovering new facets and opportunities will allow you to get a second wind and reach new levels of professionalism.
