Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts Of 1844

Book • 2012
Karl Marx's Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 are a collection of writings that explore the nature of alienation, private property, and communism.

These essays delve into Marx's early critique of capitalism, focusing on the dehumanizing effects of industrial labor.

He examines how capitalism alienates workers from their labor, the products of their labor, their fellow workers, and ultimately, themselves.

Marx's analysis lays the groundwork for his later, more mature works, such as Das Kapital.

The manuscripts offer a profound and enduring critique of the social and economic structures of capitalism.
