Book Description
First published in 1859, the Critique is the precursor for the systematic theoretical analysis of political economy expounded in Capital. In this work Marx examines the problem of commodities and commodity production, as well as the question of money as a universal measure of value and medium of exchange. This examination provides the crucial methodological basis for understanding the labour theory of value and surplus value — the key concepts of Marxist economics. Maurice Dobb, eminent Marxist economist, has provided an introduction which explains the significance of the Critique within the body of Marx’s economic work.
The present edition is reprinted from the 1970 edition published in Moscow by Progress Publishers, in London by Lawrence & Wishart, and in New York by International Publishers, Inc. This translation from Germna by S. W. Ryazanskaya, edited by Maurice Dobb has been made from Marx/Engels, Werke, Band 13, Dietz Verlag, Berlin, 1964. The aim has been to make the translation as close as possible to original. When for the sake of clarity it has been found necessary to insert a few words these are enclosed in square brackets. Italicised passages and words indicate emphasis by Marx; but following the English custom titles of publications and foreign words are also italicised.
