Abstract: Marx’s theory of rent is usually regarded to be represented in the text of Part VI of Book III of Capital, which was originally a chapter in his manuscript written in 1865 on the basis of the manuscript of 1861–1863, into which the theory of rent slipped by accident in the course of its writing. The present article elucidates such particular circumstances relating to the making of Marx’s theory of rent composed of two forms, differential and absolute, based on the new MEGA volumes. Special attention is paid to Liebig’s agro-chemistry, which considerably influenced Marx’s view on modern agriculture.
