Capital: An Abridged Edition

Combining vivid historical detail with economic analysis to produce a bitter denunciation of mid-Victorian capitalist society, Capital is the most influential work in social science in the twentieth century. This is the only abridged edition to take account of the whole work. It offers virtually all of Volume 1, excerpts fom a new translation of `The Result of the Immediate Process of Production', and a selection of key chapters from Volume 3.
