Abstract: The so-called reconstruction of Marx's critique of political economy was a significant feature in the central European Marxist discussions of the late sixties and early seventies. In the wave of this theoretical reconstruction movement, a new research discipline appeared: 'Marxist economics of education', or 'the critique of the political economy of education'. The most influential contributions came from researchers associated with the West Berlin journal PROKLA Probleme des Klassenkampfes. This article is a review of the debate during the seventies, from the pioneering contributions of the Prokla circle (Elmar Altvater and others), through the objections that were raised against their approach, to some possibilities for further research in the field.
