Features: The Capital is often referred to as the "Bible of the Working Class" on the mainland. Any person familiar with the workers' movement would not deny that the conclusions drawn in this book are increasingly becoming the fundamental principles of the great workers' movement, not only in Germany but even in Italy and Spain. Workers in various regions are increasingly viewing these conclusions as a true expression of their situation and their aspirations. The time will soon come when a thorough study of the economic conditions of Britain will become an urgent need for the nation. The operation of the country's industrial system—without the continuous expansion of production, which in turn means the absence of a market—has come to a standstill. Free trade has run out of options, and even Manchester has begun to doubt its former economic gospel.
