2025 is the year I plan on reading Volumes 1-3 of Capital. I understand that Marxists.org has the Moore/Engels version, but most people seem to prefer the Fowkes translation in Penguin. Recently, there is the Reitter translation of Volume 1 that supposedly uses a later original German edition of Capital as the base than the widely beloved Fowkes translation, but I am not sure if anyone has any experience with it yet.

Which would you recommend for someone diving into Capital for the first time? I'd prefer a physical version (to take notes) but I am not too fussed if its an ebook, I'm not incapable of using a notebook or anything instead of direct annotation.

      From what I have seen, they have started on Volume 2 already, but I am unsure if this is still up to date as that was a while ago.

        Ah, good to know! I've wanted a nice hardcover edition of the three volumes. I'll have to pick them up one day.
