To construct a dialogue between Marx and Heidegger ,  this essay reads the first volume of  Capital  together with Heidegger’s writings on technology ,  contending there is a common concern over the impoverishment of things and ,  more precisely ,  of their qualitative consistency that occurs under the sway of capitalism/modern technology. Regarding Marx ,  the essay argues for reading  Capital  in an ontological key ,  thereby placing it in the same philosophical register as Heidegger ,  and for conceiving it as a description of the impoverishment of beings ,  the reduction of their being to value. The essay then takes Heidegger’s writings on technology as corresponding to  Capital,  arguing that modern technology also leads to the same ontological  Dürftigkeit . Finally ,  the essay succinctly sketches what Heidegger’s poietic way out of this situation might be ,  which in essence coincides with Marx’s position.
