Marx on technical change in the critical edition

Regina Roth

The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2010, vol. 17, issue 5, 1223-1251

Abstract: Karl Marx is well known for sharply criticizing the social effects that technical change had on the employment and the working conditions of the labourers. At the same time, he was fascinated by the revolutionary power that technical innovations offered and assigned such innovations to play a prominent role in the development of modern society. We may explore the origin and development of his views in greater detail referring to the whole of his legacy, not only to his writings but also to his numerous excerpts from the technological literature of his time.
