Was it a foolish ideal, or the path the world should take?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, I am not recommending that you read 『Capital』 as a way to escape reality or to reminisce about the ideals of your youth. \u003cbr\u003eAuthor Seungsu Lim says that now, when artificial intelligence and robots are beginning to appear in earnest, is the time when Marx's foresight is most urgently needed.\u003cbr\u003e One of Marx's most brilliant insights was that whenever new productive forces emerged, the old social order collapsed and history moved forward.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, the dissolution of medieval feudalism and the establishment of modern capitalism were due to the emergence of a new productive force called mechanized large-scale industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Artificial intelligence and robots, which are becoming more deeply intertwined with our lives even at this very moment, are today's new productive forces.\u003cbr\u003e If the machines that emerged during the Industrial Revolution replaced human arms and legs, artificial intelligence and robots are now replacing humans themselves.\u003cbr\u003e It is delving into not only simple labor but also professional and creative fields such as accounting, law, writing, and drawing. \u003cbr\u003eThe new productive force known as artificial intelligence is shaking the very foundations of the capitalist social order, pushing us beyond mere job changes to a situation that questions the fundamental meaning of human existence.\u003cbr\u003e If we want to properly understand and cope with this enormous change, we must return to Marx.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Author Seungsu Lim does not try to persuade readers.\u003cbr\u003e He doesn't believe that humans, who have lived hundreds of thousands of hours in their own way, are simple beings who can change their minds with a single book.\u003cbr\u003e However, if you read it with a cheerful smile, you may find yourself breaking free from the intellectual prison of capitalism and considering some new ideas.\u003cbr\u003e And in that gap, the imagination begins to imagine a world where we can escape the hamster wheel of achievement, efficiency, and growth and finally live as ourselves again.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \"]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 22, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328 pages | 140*205*30mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791130670966\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1130670961 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894050816042,"sku":"112113","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/e234000fb6aadebd178a2d0f842c53c6.jpg?v=1765428613","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/112113","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
