Capital

""No previous English version of ‘Capital’ has featured such an erudite critical apparatus or such an exacting translation. It’s a remarkable achievement that forces readers to attend to the philosophical subtleties of Marx’s argument.""---James Miller, New York Times Book Review ""In a world that burns more quickly by the day—after centuries of industrial rapacity, and with ever-increasing flares of fascism—a 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 * ""Marx’s model of capitalism as an inherently crisis-generating system became more plausible to many readers in the wake of the global financial system’s near-collapse in 2008. Arriving 16 years later—to the month, as it turned out—Princeton University Press’s new translation of Capital arrives as a certified classic. The edition draws on generations of scholarship on Marx’s 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 Marx’s writing and the 21st-century horizon of the new edition’s 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 world’s access text to Marx for at least the next fifty years, as the Fowkes was before it. . . . Reitter’s new translation continues the life of Capital, creating something new while faithfully delivering an accurate text. ""---M. P. Ross, Applied Political Theory
