There is a lot of books with that name and many of them are compilation of their works, with text as Socialism Utopian and Scientific added as well.

The Capital is an economy critique, it is not a communism builder manual or anything like that (and as many people think). This work is much larger and was started by Marx and finished by Engels.(less)
