Book Description
The recent publication of Marx’s writings in their entirety has been a seminal event in Marxian scholarship. The hitherto unknown second draft of Volume 1 and first draft of Volume 3 of Capital, both published in the Manuscripts of 1861–63, now provide an important intermediate link between the Grundrisse and the final published editions of Capital.
In this book, Enrique Dussel, one of the most original Marxist philosophers in the world today, provides an authoritative and detailed commentary on the manuscripts of 1861–63.
The main points which Dussel emphasizes in this path-breaking work are
as follows:
- The fundamental category in Marx’s theory is ‘living labour’ which exists outside of capital and which capital must subsume in order to produce surplus value.
- Theories of Surplus Value is not a historical survey of previous theories, but rather a ‘critical confrontation’ through which Marx developed new categories for his own theory.
- The most important new categories developed in this manuscript are related to the ‘forms of appearance’ of surplus value.
