An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx's Capital (German: Kritik der politischen Ökonomie: Eine Einführung) is a book by German Marxist scholar Michael Heinrich examining the three volumes of Karl Marx's major economic work Capital. Published in German in 2004, the book is structured as a shortened account of Marx's analysis of capitalism, and is written from the standpoint of the Neue Marx-Lektüre school of thought, criticising both Marxist and bourgeois readings of Marx.^[1][2] The book was first published in Germany by Schmetterling Verlag [de] and became one of the most popular introductions to Capital in the country.^[3] It was the first of Heinrich's works to be translated into English, with a 2012 edition by Monthly Review Press.^[4]
