Capital

"No previous English version of Capital has featured such an erudite critical apparatus or such an exacting translation. Its a remarkable achievement that forces readers to attend to the philosophical subtleties of Marxs argument."---James Miller, New York Times Book Review "In a world that burns more quickly by the dayafter centuries of industrial rapacity, and with ever-increasing flares of fascisma new English translation of Marx, and the first to be based on his final revision of this foundational critique of capitalism, is just what the people ordered." * The Millions * "Marxs model of capitalism as an inherently crisis-generating system became more plausible to many readers in the wake of the global financial systems near-collapse in 2008. Arriving 16 years laterto the month, as it turned outPrinceton University Presss new translation of Capital arrives as a certified classic. The edition draws on generations of scholarship on Marxs economic manuscripts, which are voluminous in mass and headache-making in penmanship. Prefatory essays by the political theorist Wendy Brown and by Paul North, a scholar of German literature, move between the 19th-century context of Marxs writing and the 21st-century horizon of the new editions readers."---Scott McLemee, Inside Higher Ed "The introduction, translation, and critical notes, by Paul North and Paul Reitter simply make this the edition to have."---David Murphy, Open Letters Review "The Reitter translation of Capital will likely be the English speaking worlds access text to Marx for at least the next fifty years, as the Fowkes was before it. . . . Reitters new translation continues the life of Capital, creating something new while faithfully delivering an accurate text. "---M. P. Ross, Applied Political Theory "An outstanding translation of one of the most important and influential books of the last 150+ years. The quality of editing, the copious explication, and the stellar supporting documents result in a translation that will be definitive for decades." * Library Journal (Starred review) *
