4.0
How do you criticize a classic? Better than a classic, a pillar of modern capitalism.
As a result, no mistake, Marx is, by turn, a sociologist, historian, philosopher, and classical economist. However, it does not question the foundations of classical theories. Instead, he adds his vision, his critique of the workings of society and the exploitation of man by man, but we are at the very heart of the classical theory.
Capital reads like Zola, for the most part. However, lifestyle and consumption habits had described with realism. In particular, the descriptions of the habitats or the bread are highlights.
Of course, the book has cost a wrinkle: one or a few. But the inequalities are still there, and some ideas are surprisingly modern (or desperate, it depends).
