Marx's Grundrisse

[by] David McLellan.
Book • 1971
"Grundrisse der Kritik der Politischen Ökonomie" (Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy) is a lengthy, complex manuscript by Karl Marx.

Written as a preparatory work for his magnum opus, Das Kapital, it contains a wealth of insights into Marx's economic and philosophical thought.

The Grundrisse explores themes such as alienation, commodity fetishism, and the contradictions inherent in capitalism.

It is a critical analysis of classical political economy, examining concepts like labor, capital, and value.

While not intended for publication in its raw form, the Grundrisse provides invaluable context for understanding Marx's mature economic theories and his critique of capitalist society.
