Review:
For almost thirty years, Marx s Capital has provided an invaluable introduction to Marx's great work. This fourth edition is much more than an updating of its predecessors: its coverage is more comprehensive and sophisticated and the book provides very useful guides to key debates and further reading. The book is not only of interest to students of Marx it should be compulsory reading for all serious students of economics. --Professor Simon Clarke, University of Warwick
This expert guide to the political economy of Marx's Capital has always been the very best available. The fourth edition, welcome in its own right, updates the text in the light of recent scholarship. It is thoroughly recommended not only for beginners but to anyone interested in the applicability of Marxian theory to the parlous condition of contemporary capitalism. --David Harvey, author of 'Limits to Capital' and 'The Condition of Postmodernity'
Marx's Capital is an admirably clear explanation of complex ideas, which has the rare virtue of saying something important to economists while being accessible to non-specialist readers. It also does a very good job of showing the urgent relevance of Marx's Capital today. --Ellen Meiksins Wood, author of 'The Empire of Capital' (2003) and 'The Origin of Capitalism' (2002)
