There is a great need for the Marxist Internet Archive to download the Ben Fowkes English translation of Marx's Capital. Its present downloaded translation, the Moore/Aveling translation leaves a lot to be desired. Much of the translation is mistranslation. It is interesting that Engels should have given his imprimatur to this English translation which for many years was the standard translation of Moscow. Indeed this particular translation was published by them. Until the seventies it was probably the only translation available --there may have been an Everyman translation of Volume One that was of poor quality too.
