Marx publishes Das Kapital
Volume One of Karl Marx's Das Kapital appears in Hamburg: a vast, forensic anatomy of capitalism — commodities, surplus value, the working day — built from years of research in the British Museum's reading room. Few books of the century travel further or divide the world more sharply; its arguments will shape revolutions, parties, and economics for the next hundred years.
