Der Wissenschaftsverlag Springer hat ein Buch rausgebracht, das in der Community der Übersetzenden Entsetzen auslöst. Es geht um Perspektiven auf Marx‘ Kapital. Eine Überschrift lautet „Bevölkerung und Miete in der Hauptstadt“, im englischen Original: „Population and Rent in Capital“. Das marxsche Kapital wird zur Hauptstadt, die (Grund-)Rente zur Miete.
