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 proved to be the
most influential work in twentieth-century social science Marx did for social science what
Darwin had done for biology. This is the only abridged edition to take into account 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 Production and a selection of
key chapters from Volume 3 which Engels published in 1895.
