First published in 1867, Capital Volume 1 is now established as Marx's most important work, and a classic text for students of politics, philosophy and economics. This unabridged paperback edition is based on the first translation into English by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling, which was edited by Frederick Engels. The book focuses on capitalist production, and analyses capitalism's workings through detailed research and observation of what was the most advanced industrial country of the 19th century.
