This paper discusses the first French edition of Capital volume
1, revised by Marx, analyzed by Kevin Anderson (1983) in this journal and
subsequent work, and partially incorporated into the new German edition by
Thomas Kuczynski (2017), based largely on the second German edition. We argue
that both Marx and Anderson are too generous (and Engels too negative) in their
respective assessments of the translation and that it has found its appropriate
place in the now definitive German version which will, we hope, be translated
into other languages.
