That's my point. I would guess that the first chapter, FIRST edition (1867)
is the more dialectical presentation by Marx. It was so dialcetical that
Marx decided to append a short appendix on the Form of Value. Both are
translated in English. The appendixi in Capital & Class, the first chapter,
first edition in an (unreliable) translation in English by some group in
New York. I don't have here (in Bergamo, I'm not at home) the references,
but I'm sure that some other on the list (Chris?) may give you the details.
