Das Kapital, written by Karl Marx, is not intended for the bookshelves of economists and philosophers. It is economics for working people, presented from their viewpoint and history. This work is the classic masterpiece of revolutionary working-class politics.

In this interpretation, David Smith and Phil Evans dispel the myth of difficulty often associated with Marx's Kapital.
