A classic of early modernism, Capital combines vivid historical detail
with economic analysis to produce a bitter denunciation of
mid-Victorian capitalist society. It has also proved to be the most
influential work in social science in the twentieth century; Marx did
for social science what Darwin had done for biology. Millions of
readers this century have treated Capital as a sacred text, subjecting
it to as many different interpretations as the bible itself. No mere
work of dry economics, Marx's great work depicts the unfolding of
industrial capitalism as a tragic drama - with a message which has
lost none of its relevance today. This is the only abridged edition to
take account of the whole of Capital. It offers virtually all of
Volume 1, which Marx himself published in 1867, excerpts from a new
translation of `The Result of the Immediate Process of Production',
and a selection of key chapters from Volume 3, which Engels published
in 1895. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics
has made available the widest range of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other
valuable features, including expert introductions by leading
authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date
bibliographies for further study, and much more.
