Economic Manuscripts: Grundrisse - Introduction

Marx wrote this huge manuscript as part of his preparation for what would become A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy (published in 1859) and Capital (published 1867). Soviet Marxologists released several never-before-seen Marx/Engels works in the 1930s. Most were early works – like the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts – but the Grundrisse stood alone as issuing forth from the most intense period of Marx’s decade-long, in-depth study of economics.

It is an extremely rich and thought-provoking work, showing signs of humanism and the influence of Hegelian dialectic method. Economic Manuscripts: Capital, Vol.3, Table of Contents.
