Help me find Kapital

[Ritzy Cat]

Hello everyone, I am looking to get a copy of Das Kapital. I am having trouble finding it, since none of the book stores I have visited in my area offer it, and it seems all the ones I find online are "edited" by someone who has supposedly "removed the important" parts. Can someone direct me to one that contains Marx's original writings, without being tampered by some alternate "editor"? I know the online version is available on marxists.org and I have found several e-books, but I'd really like a hard copy.

The whole thing, by the way.

The whole of three volumes in a single edition? I do not think such a version exists. Likewise, I do not think you are going to find an edition that does not have en editor as texts like Capital attract the intellectual. The Leftist standard is still the Penguin edition which can be found on Amazon. Don't know if that is what you are looking for or not.

Order form an online store amazon or something.

I would also recommend getting A Companion to Marx's Capital by Prof. David Harvey from CUNY. There's two volumes to it, but volume one is good in that it covers enough of Das Kapital's main points that volume two is only supplementary at best, in my opinion.

You can find it here

Das Kapital can be an intimidating read at first. If you have a hard time reading or understanding it, there are plenty of us here on Revleft who would be willing to help.

I wouldn't. People can watch his online videos for free (if they can keep consciousness long enough listening to him drone on) or they can read the transcripts which is essentially what his books contain. Capital is a book that you need to read more than once and I don't really see the point in trying to understand it the first time you read it. Much of Capital is just common sense and you don't require a reader to follow it. Chapters 1 and 3 are the most difficult but the ideas presented in them re-appear in the book in more concrete examples.

I'm also going to have to say get the Penguin version. You're not gonna find a text like that without an editor. Don't worry, the Penguin version is complete, it's not missing the good parts. The editor's job is to keep the good parts! That's how books sell.

I think you're more concerned about edited versions than you need to be. There are unlikely to be significant edits to alter meaning etc. The complete works and Marx and Engels have been worked on here
