In this previously unpublished work in Greece, "Summary of Capital," Engels eloquently and simply presents fundamental concepts of Marx's work.

Although it summarizes only four out of the six chapters of the first book of Capital, it manages to faithfully convey both the spirit of Marx and the social context to which his analysis referred, through characteristic examples.

The timelessness of this summary lies in its presentation of the basic laws of early capitalism and provides the necessary tools for understanding today’s complex economic and social reality.
