What is money?
A simple question that is surprisingly difficult to answer - or at least to answer well. Typical explanations of money offer a mere description (rather than an essential definition) of money by listing up its various functions, starting with the function of money as a means of paying for goods and services.
Karl Marx offers us a more fundamental understanding of money in his classic book Capital. In Chapter 1 and 2 (prior to explaining the functions of money in Chapter 3), Marx clarifies the essence of money as the material used by a commodity to express its own value, considers why money is necessary in the first place under capitalism, and then identifies the factor that propels a given commodity into the role of money.
Samezo- Kuruma takes a close look at each of those three key theoretical issues related to the concept of money in Marx's Theory of the Genesis of Value (with a focus on the theory of the value-form). Kuruma's book not only elucidates the essence of money, as understood by Marx, but also guides the reader through the "difficult beginning" of Capital.
We based our evaluation of book condition on the following criteria:
* New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unread copy in perfect condition.
* Like New: An apparently unread copy in perfect condition. Dust cover is intact; pages are clean and are not marred by notes or folds of any kind.
* Very Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in excellent condition. Pages are intact and are not marred by notes or highlighting, but may contain a neat previous owner name. The spine remains undamaged.
* Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact. The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions.
* Acceptable: A readable copy. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes--in pen or highlighter--but the notes cannot obscure the text.
