As the gap between rich and poor continues to widen, a new generation is reflecting on the insights of Karl Marx. Marx not only stood against the global economic system but he also helped us understand it. He explained how wealth was created on the backs of workers, how "surplus value" is realized and how accumulation is achieved through unpaid labour-time, the intensification of work and the tyranny of credit. "Capital - In Manga!" is the English translation of the Japanese bestseller. It's a story of a cheese-maker turned capitalist and how greed, exploitation and its social consequences destroys lives and remakes workers into commodities. It is hoped that this manga may act as a bridge to Marx's original work.

Capital: In Manga! In one word, Brilliant!

Capital: In Manga! is a fantastically written and illustrated book, meant to act as a bridge to Karl Marx's original work, Das Kapital.
I feel that it succeeds brilliantly.
A joy to read, Capital In Manga effortlessly presents the main points of the original quickly, logically and unforgettably while leaving one wanting to learn more. A very effective bridge indeed!
This quick-paced book tells the story of Robin, who wants to become rich.
His quest for wealth involves many of the classic interactions with the Capitalist system, demonstrating its fatal flaws on many levels.
It's a great summary of capitalism that can be read quickly and easily and leaves you with a vivid impression of capitalism's inner workings as well as its barbarous cruelty.
The book itself is in Japanese Manga style, appearing much like a comic book. This style works beautifully to convey the message of Kapital.
Unlike a "normal" comic book it contains depictions of violence, cruelty, despair and prostitution to build its case against capitalism, so this book is probably not suitable for children or more sensitive readers.
Having read it, I can't imagine being without a copy.
In my opinion, Capital: In Manga! is an absolute must-have for any library.

Capital, in MANGA! is a great adaptation of the themes of Karl Marx's capital, turning a dry and often complex book regarding political economy into an approachable story about a cheese maker turned capitalist who through the pressures of always making more money becomes a monster who doesn't recognize himself. The story shows the contradictions of capital, of how working for money enslaves us to it. How the demands of more and more productivity leads to more suffering for the workers.
