Karl Marx, Pääoma, first Finnish translation (1918-1976)

--------------------------------------------------------

Shortly before Word War I, the young economist and socialist member of parliament Edward Gylling inspired a Finnish edition of “Capital”. It was published with the help of the Finnish literature Promotion Fund (SKE). Volume one was translated by OV Louhivuori, who later became the principal of the School of Economics. It appeared as a series of booklets between 1913 and 1917; in 1918 they were bound in one book.

The second volume was translated by Mauri Ryömä, the Communist Party's Executive Committee member and member of parliament. It appeared only in 1950. The third part was translated by Tiusanen and published in 1976.
