A revolutionary work of economic analysis. It is also a literary masterpiece. Francis Wheen, Guardian

One of the most controversial and influential works of modern times, Capital is a perceptive critique of private property and the social relations it produces. Living in exile in England, where most of this work was written, Marx drew on a broad knowledge of society to support his analysis. He argues that capitalism will cause an ever-increasing division in wealth and prosperity, predicting its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. Capital quickly gained readership worldwide, becoming a work that Marx's collaborator, Friedrich Engels, described as 'the Bible of the working class.'
