Das Kapital. Second edition of volume one of Marx's polemical masterpiece of political economy, revised by the author from the first edition of 1867.Only the first volume of this most influential of books was published in Marx's lifetime, and though the later volumes were edited by Engels from the author's manuscript, the revised edition of volume I was edited by Marx himself and contains the first printing of his ten page afterword. It was the summation of over twenty years research in the reading rooms of the British Museum, and followed on from his earlier work Zur Kritik der politischen Oekonomie, printed in 1859.
