Marx's critique of the capitalist system is rife with big themes: his theory of 'surplus value', his discussion of the exploitation of the working class, and his forecast of class conflict on a grand scale.

Edward Bibbins Aveling was a notable English biology instructor and a widely recognized advocate for Darwinian evolution, atheism, and socialism. A founding member of the Socialist League and the Independent Labour Party, he authored numerous books and pamphlets. Aveling's work significantly influenced public discourse on scientific and political thought during his time. His commitment to freethought and secular humanism was evident throughout his prolific career as a lecturer and editor.
Capital , one of Marx's major and most influential works, was the product of thirty years close study of the capitalist mode of production in England, the most advanced industrial society of his day. This new translation of Volume One , the only volume to be completed and edited by Marx himself, avoids some of the mistakes that have marred earlier versions and seeks to do justice to the literary qualities of the work. The introduction is by Ernest Mandel, author of Late Capitalism , one of the only comprehensive attempts to develop the theoretical legacy of Capital.
