Features: The Capital is a treatise on the nature of the capitalist mode of production and its contradictions, but it is also a treatise on the operation of the modern market economy. Previous research on The Capital has generally focused on the nature of capital and its contradictions. However, as the capitalist mode of production is a typical form of the modern market economy, it also has aspects of how it is realized and how it moves. The problems raised in the practice of establishing and developing a socialist market economy in our country have opened up new horizons, prompting us to conduct in-depth research on the movement of capital. We have found that The Capital is also a theory of the operation of capital and the market economy. This book focuses on the study of the operation of capital and the market economy. Its distinctive feature is the emphasis on the principles of capital operation, closely integrating it with the actual development of China's socialist market economy. This allows many principles and categories of The Capital to be reinterpreted and developed, giving them a strong sense of the times. The author's basic arguments can be found in the preface of this book.
