Synopsis
Marx's masterpiece DAS KAPITAL is not so much a manual on economics but a moral and theoretical view of social issues and activities as they are determined by economic systems. It is an analysis of capitalism that was the precursor of all subsequent forms of socialism. Isaiah Berlin refers to DAS KAPITAL as having "acquired a symbolic significance beyond anything written since the age of faith. It has been blindly worshipped, and blindly hated, by millions who have not read a line of it, or have read without understanding its, at times, obscure and tortuous prose." (from KARL MARX: His Life and Environment, 1978)

Publisher's Note
'Capital, ' one of Marx's major and most influential works, was the product of thirty years' close study of the capitalist mode of production in England, the most advanced industrial society of his day. This new translation of Volume One, the only volume to be completed and edited by Marx himself, avoids some of the mistakes that marred earlier versions and seeks to do justice to the literary qualities of the work. The introduction is by Ernest Mandel, author of 'Late Capitalism', one of the only comprehensive attempts to develop the theoretical legacy of 'Capital'.

This work was the product of 30 years' close study of the capitalist mode of production in England, the most advanced industrial society of his day. This new translation of volume 1, by Ben Fowkes, is the only volume to be completed and edited by Marx.
