Early Life and Activism

Robert Kurz was born in West Germany in 1943. He became politically active in the 1970s, briefly joining the Communist Workers' League of Germany (KABD) before later distancing himself from it.

Association with the "Krisis" Group

Kurz became a prominent figure in the "Krisis" group, a collective of left-wing intellectuals who criticized both capitalism and traditional Marxist thought. Through his writings in the group's publication, "Krisis," Kurz developed his own radical political philosophy.

"The Black Book of Capitalism"

Kurz's most renowned work is "The Black Book of Capitalism," published in 1999. The book is a scathing critique of the capitalist system, arguing that it is inherently violent and destructive to both humanity and the environment. "The Black Book of Capitalism" has become a foundational text for critics of global capitalism and has been translated into numerous languages.
