With his "Common Understanding Edition," Julian Borchardt has introduced "Capital" to countless people since the 1920s. The book became a bestseller immediately upon its release; it has gone through several editions and has been translated into many languages. In 400 pages, Borchardt presents the Marxian text of all three volumes in its original wording, but condensed and arranged for clarity. "My aim had to be to leave as much of Marx's own words as possible and to limit my work to omitting and rearranging. Much of what is in the third volume had to be placed at the very beginning. Additionally, I often had to bring together discussions that are spread across various, often widely separated chapters, while conversely separating others, and of course, I frequently had to create connections.".
