The Marxian Economic Handbook and Glossary with Numerous Corrections, Explanations, and Emendations of the English Version of Vol. I of Capital for the Use of Advanced Students and Beginners

Abstract

The object of the present handbook is to clarify the English version of Vol. I of Marx's Capital—to popularize as far as may be its main or general message. It is intended to clarify and to popularize especially the first three chapters, comprising Marx's Part I, which three chapters are herein summarized, more or less, in three corresponding chapters. But they are not strictly summarized, for in places I have not hesitated even to expand a paragraph into a victual explanation. The present book is designed to simplify the gist of Marx's economic work, not only for the use of students, but also in order to rescue as far as possible the definite meanings of this really marvelous work from the misunderstandings, both friendly (or unintentional) and hostile, from the masses of confusion, both innocent and deliberate, that have unfortunately been crowded around them.
