(Note: This is a translation of Book One of 'Das Kapital', 'Der Produktionprozess des Kapitals' - "The present volume contains the whole of what most people mean when they speak of 'Marx's Capital'" - from the Translators' Preface; "to this day what most people have in mind when they refer to 'Capital' is the first volume rather than the complete work. Volume I does indeed stand by itself [as] embodying a full exposition of Marx's leading economic ideas and as offering a good illustration of his methods in the handling of both historical and theoretical material" - from the Introduction.).…
