To wit, it came later than the 2nd German edition the 3rd German edition was already in the hands of Engels and was published shortly after Marx’s death in 1883, and the 4th appeared in 1890. If the originality of the French edition were not sufficient for it to claim a place in Marx’s official bibliography (as it is one of his works, not just a translation), the most important reason for its importance is the fact that, of all the editions of Volume I, the French edition is the last written by Marx. The fact that it was completely rewritten by the author himself, as he revised the translation in great detail, means that it became an original work and provides us with a very rare opportunity: that of comparing two versions that can both be seen as originals, using one to provide insights into the other or to reveal differences between them. But he went much further with the French translation: he completely rewrote it, making substantial changes and additions. Marx supervised the Russian translation, the first to be carried out, maintained an active dialog with his translators, and praised the finished translation. There were thus two translations: one into Russian and one into French. There were two German editions, also one Russian and one French. During his life, there were four editions and two translations of it. There are many editions and translations of Volume I of Capital, the only volume of Marx’s magnum opus published during his lifetime.

It then offers case examples of how different segments of the population emerge as exploited groups in the United States, due to changes in social policies. Using practical examples, this article develops a theoretical framework for understanding social exploitation. Social exploitation is a second mechanism, securing labor from population segments that can be coerced or convinced to perform necessary work for free or at below-market compensation. Societies use various resource-allocation mechanisms, including price, to cope with gaps between wants and resources. To make matters somewhat worse, research suggests that need- and want-fulfillment tends to further stimulate the cycle of want-seeking rather than satiating desire. Thus societies are always in deficit demand always exceeds supply and “balancing the budget” is a constant social problem.
