Abstract
The article shows that "Capital" gives the key for the understanding of the anatomy of both classical and modern market economy. "Capital" is relevant as such for the analysis of the classical features of market economy which still exists. Critical dialectical method of "Capital" has helped to develop critically Marxist theory according to the changes in the economy. Analysis of production relations helps to show historical limits of market, changes in the property, actuality of old and new contradictions of capital. The article argues for special actuality of "Capital" for Russia; marks the problems which have not yet been solved within the framework of modern Marxism; critically considers dogmatic anti-Marxism which has become very popular among modern scholars and students.
