Leesgroep: Michael Heinrich: Een inleiding in Het Kapitaal van Karl Marx

31 March 2026

Het Kapitaal is een van de meest invloedrijke boeken in de wereldgeschiedenis. Naast dat het zeer invloedrijks is – de marxistische waardetheorie staat nog steeds als een huis – is het ook een notoir lastig boek om zelfstandig te lezen en te doorgronden. Een inleiding in Het Kapitaal van Karl Marx geeft inzicht in de drie delen van Marx’ meesterwerk. Helder maar zonder versimpeling bespreekt Heinrich de rol van arbeid, waarde, uitbuiting en kapitaal bij Marx. Michael Heinrich laat zien hoe Marx de ‘spookachtige’ logica van het kapitalisme analyseerde.
