Le Capital, tome 1

The idea that profit derives from unpaid labor is central here, but I wonder what led Marx to emphasize this aspect over others in his critique.

Some parts felt quite abstract and challenging to follow, especially if you're new to economics. Did others find ways to make sense of the core ideas more easily?

The way he links capitalism to class struggle and power dynamics is compelling. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate choice to show their interdependence.
