About this audiobook
Marx, nació en la ciudad de Trier en Alemania y fue otorgado el doctorado en filosofía por la Universidad de Jena con 23 años, ya era políglota y un pensador muy original cuando empezó a interesarse por el socialismo radical. Sus polémicos escritos y actividades políticas durante los años siguientes lo convirtieron en persona non grata en el continente europeo, y en 1849 se mudó a Londres, donde pasaría el resto de su vida. Para entonces ya había conocido a Friedrich Engels, (1820-1895) un hombre de ideas afines, socialista y autor del libro La situación de la clase obrera en Inglaterra en 1844. Marx y Engels entablaron una amistad que les duraría toda la vida. Sería Engels, hijo de una familia rica - su padre era empresario y manufacturero de textiles - quien prestaría apoyo financiero al empobrecido Marx y terminaría editando y asegurando la publicación de los tomos dos y tres de El capital después de la muerte de Marx en 1883.
Ambos quisieron utilizar la sabiduría obtenida por sus estudios en los campos de la historia, la política, la economía y la filosofía, no solo para interpretar y entender el mundo, sino para cambiarlo, para crear un mundo mejor. Colaboraron en el Manifiesto del Partido Comunista (1848) una declaración clara de su compromiso compartido al cambio social. Durante el resto de su vida, Marx trabajó casi sin descansar en su principal proyecto, El capital, y pasó gran parte de su tiempo en la Sala de Lectura de la Biblioteca Británica de Londres. El resultado proporcionaría las bases teóricas e ideológicas de la futura política comunista. El capital, Tomo 1 se publicó en 1867 en alemán, seguido de traducciones al ruso (1872) y, después de la muerte de Marx, al inglés (1887). Afortunadamente, Marx había dejado abundantes notas sobre el contenido propuesto para los volúmenes siguientes, tales como los había concebido, y fue Engels, después de un esfuerzo sostenido, quien llevó a cabo su publicación: Tomo 2, El proceso del capital circulante salió en 1885 y Tomo 3, El proceso de producción capitalista en su conjunto fue publicado en 1894. Tomo uno de El capital fue escrita con la finalidad última de descubrir y revelar la ley económica que preside la evolución de la sociedad moderna de manera científica.
El libro ofrece un análisis del progreso de la sociedad a través del método de la dialéctica enfocado en la lucha de clases, un método inspirado en la dialéctica de Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) aunque en muchas ocasiones Marx era bastante crítico de Hegel y su metafísica. Tomo I de El capital contiene un análisis del proceso de producción del capital y una crítica de la clase capitalista por su explotación despiadada de la clase obrera. Marx reflexiona sobre la producción de las mercancías y la naturaleza de la plusvalía, el consumo, el papel de la tecnología y la acumulación capitalista dentro del contexto del proceso histórico enfocando específicamente la Inglaterra del siglo XIX. El tomo I es un análisis detallado del proceso de
Karl Marx
Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, historian, political theorist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. Born in Prussia, he received his doctorate in philosophy at the University of Jena in Germany and became an ardent follower of German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Marx was already producing political and social philosophic works when he met Friedrich Engels in Paris in 1844. The two became lifelong colleagues and soon collaborated on "The Communist Manifesto," which they published in London in 1848. Expelled from Belgium and Germany, Marx moved to London in 1849 where he continued organizing workers and produced (among other works) the foundational political document Das Kapital. A hugely influential and important political philosopher and social theorist, Marx died stateless in 1883 and was buried in Highgate Cemetery in London.
