About this ebook
The movement of capital, which appears autonomous and self generating, is laid out in circuits that echo Hegel's logic of mediation and return each phase of circulation negating and preserving the previous, forming an internally coherent yet opaque system. Though filled with detailed analysis of turnover time, fixed capital, and the reproduction of the social aggregate, the metaphysical undertones remain pronounced, especially in the treatment of capital as an abstract subject that posits and re posites itself through the labor and consumption of others. The system described seems to move independently of the individuals within it, drawing them into its rhythmic cycles like a quasi natural law, yet one that is historically contingent and ideologically mystified.
Here, labor continues to function as the hidden core of value, but the veil grows thicker capital now appears as a total social process, reified and autonomous, but driven by contradictions immanent to its very form. The metaphysics of capital, which began as a riddle in the commodity, now expands into a self regulating organism whose dark intelligibility recalls the speculative structure of Hegel's Logic, but with the ghost of Geist replaced by the cold necessity of value in motion.
