The Relation between the Rate of Profit and the Rate of Interest: A Reassessment after the Publication of Marx’s Manuscript of the Third Volume of Das Kapital

Bertram Schefold

Chapter 8 in Marxian Economics: A Reappraisal, 1998, pp 127-144 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Almost one hundred years after the appearance of volume III of Das Kapital, edited by Engels, Marx’s own manuscript has been published at last (Marx, 1992). Engels’ labours to edit it as a coherent book have often been admired, especially in view of the fact that he finalised a task that Marx had failed to accomplish. But in view of the manuscript one experiences something of the sensation one feels when the original of a Greek sculpture is discovered, albeit damaged, of which a more polished Roman copy had been known. The translation might be compared to a photograph which lacks the original colours.
