About this ebook
A new translation of Marx's early unpublished manuscripts from 1844.
This is Volume II in The Complete Works of Karl Marx by NL Press.
Published posthumously in the 1930s from his estate, these manuscripts are incomplete and were abandoned for larger projects he began to undertake with Engels. They survive only as fragments written between April and August 1844. The material is in draft form, and repeats itself several times because some of it was originally divided into columns, much like Kants critique do, which is an editors formatting nightmare. The preface for these three manuscripts is a part of the third manuscript, but is a fitting introduction for all three.
About the author
Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German philosopher, economist and revolutionary whose ideas have had a profound influence on political theory, economics and social science. Along with Friedrich Engels, Marx developed the theory of historical materialism, arguing that economic structures fundamentally shape social development. His seminal works, The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, criticise the capitalist system, arguing that it leads to class struggle and the exploitation of the working class. Marx envisioned a society in which class distinctions would dissolve, culminating in a classless, stateless society. His theories laid the foundations for various socialist and communist movements, influencing world politics and inspiring revolutions. Although controversial, Marx's analysis of capitalism and advocacy of social justice continue to be studied and debated, making him one of the most influential thinkers in modern history.
