"Usable Capital: A Guide to Survival for People in Contemporary Society" is a small encyclopedia for contemporary workers. It uses Marx's economic principles and classic conclusions in "Das Kapital" to explain the various pressures and confusions faced by young professionals aged 20-30 in reality, such as why they keep working overtime and why they do not get more year-on-year benefits from overtime work. Many people think that economics is incredible and difficult to understand, but this book deciphers obscure economics knowledge from a young person's perspective, interprets economic principles with the help of current social hot topics, and effortlessly masters and applies them to workplace life. After reading this book, I hope you can "instantly wake up" and achieve spiritual "economic freedom" in this stressful world.

We should not be too gullible in the relationship between the boss and his employees as brothers, just like we would not be brothers in the bicycle we bought. Once an employee loses value to the company, he will soon be removed from the boss's list and then thrown away like a broken car...
Only when society needs it can goods be sold.
Wages are not just enough to sustain a worker's personal livelihood, but also take into account family and education.
Individual owners of labor eventually age and die, exiting the labor market. In order for labor to continue to appear on the market, workers need to form families and breed new workers. In order for workers to master corresponding labor skills, workers need to be educated and trained.
The less education workers have, the less wages capitalists need to pay. They would rather everyone thinks that studying is useless... Of course, what kind of training and education can really bring about wage increases depends on the specific needs of society and the specific circumstances of the individual. For individuals, it does not mean that more education will definitely bring higher wages, but for the average society, the increase in income brought by education has been strictly proven in theory and practice.
A good book, very worth reading and learning. There are many knowledge points in the book that people should know but have never read. I excerpted some of the knowledge to encourage each other. It is a book that must be read.
This book is pretty good. Suitable for people who don't understand.
Using capital, resources and skills to improve your survivability and increase your likelihood of success is a very cost-effective thing.

Recently, after three years of epidemic, the balance of the world economy has been broken. Under the influence of black swan events, the economic direction has become increasingly difficult to figure out. We live in this world, and we need to understand the basic knowledge of the economy to better understand the direction of the economy. In the face of great changes in the world, we will not follow others' opinions and be cut off by others. This book is based on Marx's economic theory, lists economic events that have occurred, and tells us economic knowledge.
Das Kapital is a classic work by a German philosopher. I read this book when I was in college. To be honest, there are many arguments and it is not easy to understand, so I have always longed for a book that can integrate them all and use simple language to help me use the knowledge in it. This book helped me. The author combined the knowledge in Capital with the company, the most commonly used organizational form today, and introduced concepts such as surplus value and social class differentiation to us in simple and unpretentious language. If you are interested, you can check it out.
Easy to understand, very good
Explaining the profound things in a simple way, the author is thoughtful [sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart]
I finally finished reading it one after another. Every time I read it before going to bed, I feel a great sense of satisfaction. This is the satisfaction of gaining knowledge, just like eating a delicious meal. I have been interested in the book Capital for a long time. The source of my interest was the interesting and lively lectures of the ideological and political teacher in high school. This was the first time I came into contact with it. After reading a few pages of the original work, I was not very interested, but this book is really easy to read and worth reading again and again.
Wonderful deduction and profound reasoning.
A new understanding of "Das Kapital"
I learned a lot from this book.
This book is very interesting! It uses simple examples to explain difficult economic knowledge, and also talks about problems we will encounter in the workplace, such as working overtime. I like the part about the "labor theory of value" in the book, it makes me understand that the value of goods is not just the price. Moreover, the characters in the book are all real, just like the friends around me, and I can understand their confusion and pressure. This book is really practical and makes me think more about the workplace and life.
Very nice and very well explained.
Good book, worth reading
Easy to understand, keep talking.
Maybe it will take another few hundred years to become an ideal world!
