`Whatever the state of current politics, Karl Marx remains one of the great thinkers of the modern world. Chris Arthur has solved the problem of slimming down Capital, without tearing the fabric of Marx's argument or losing the flavour of his style, with exceptional success. All students will have reason to thank him.' - E.J. Hobsbawm

C. J. Arthur taught Philosophy for many years at the University of Sussex. He is the author of Dialectics of Labour: Marx and his Relation to Hegel (1986) and The New Dialectic and Marx's Capital (2002). He edited and introduced the following: Engels Today: A Centenary Appreciation (1996); Pashukanis, E. B., Law and Marxism (1978); and Marx, K. and F. Engels, The German Ideology (1970).
