Social capital, cultural capital, health capital, beauty capital, human capital, natural capital - everything seems to be capital today. Against the imperialism of the economy, Peter Streckeisen reinterprets "Das Kapital" by Karl Marx. He focuses on the social forms of capital and points out blind spots in Bourdieu's capital theory. His critique of Marxism helps to rediscover Marx as a critic of the economy and to engage with sociological capital theory. The book is also aimed at an interested public that is skeptical of the increasing dominance of economic thinking.
