Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyze the influence of Karl Marx's Capital on the economic reality of the 21st century. The authors of the article used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis to comprehend the impact of Marx's teachings on capital on the contemporary economic reality, as well as systematic, empirical, analytical, and economic approaches along with other methods of studying the economic activity of the social actors. The comparative analysis method was used to study the human capital index in different countries, while empirical analysis was employed to monitor open relevant statistical studies.
