Marx for the twenty-first centuryThe first new English translation in fifty years—and the only one based on the last German edition revised by Marx himselfFeaturing extensive original commentary, including a foreword by acclaimed political theorist Wendy Brown“An astounding achievement.”—China Miéville, author of October: The Story of the Russian Revolution

On the Choice of Edition

This is the first time that the second German edition of Capital volume 1 has been translated into English. The second edition of 1872 was the last authorized text of volume 1 published in the original German, in the sense that it is the last one that Marx revised himself and approved for publication.

    i will definitely check it out.
    the language of the older editions is borderline outdated. it’s so difficult to read when marx wrote it to be accessible to his native german audience. not to mentio the original translations had typos in the formulas for capital.
    also, queue all the doctrinists who treat every word of marx and lenin the same way the fucking evangelicals treat the king james.

    Oh nice! I wouldn’t mind a re-read of it before jumping into volume 2. Especially if the language is easier to follow. Even just a re-read of some key chapters.
