<p><b>''A groundbreaking work of economic analysis. It is also a literary masterpice'' Francis Wheen, <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>One of the most notorious and influential works of modern times, <i>Capital</i> is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis. Arguing that capitalism would cause an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. <i>Capital</i> rapidly acquired readership throughout the world, to become a work described by Marx''s collaborator Friedrich Engels as ''the Bible of the working class''.<br><br>Translated by BEN FOWKES with an Introduction by ERNEST MANDEL</p>
