Features: The Capital is not only an immortal work of economics but also a complete Marxist book that integrates the three components of Marxism. It is also a perfect unity of the two major contributions made by Marx in his lifetime: historical materialism and the theory of surplus value. In fact, this economics masterpiece, built upon the theory of surplus value, is a concrete demonstration and vivid embodiment of the basic principles of historical materialism, making it a specific work on historical materialism. The Capital is vast in scope and content. For busy cadres, especially leaders, it is difficult to read the entire book. However, lacking a fundamental understanding of its basic content and principles is also challenging for them to perform leadership work effectively. Therefore, to address this contradiction, Comrade Yang Chunfeng spent several years compiling this Excerpts from The Capital, extracting and categorizing the essential parts of Marx's basic theoretical viewpoints. This not only helps cadres at large understand the basic content and theoretical perspectives of The Capital but also provides a guide for those who wish to explore its content and theoretical principles. For those who are determined to read The Capital, following the provided guide can lead to a deeper understanding. Thus, I believe his approach will undoubtedly be beneficial for those who are eager to read The Capital.
