Abstract: Abstract As I suggested at the outset of this part, there is in fact another direction in which Marx’s early criticisms of political economy could be taken, besides that which issues in his mature critique. This other direction is indeed the direction in which Marx himself took his criticisms in elaborating upon them at the time, and even much later he was often prepared to say that this was the direction in which he had actually gone - though I have tried to show that in fact he went along a completely unrelated route, which led to realizable ends, instead of imaginary ones. In any event, I think this is surely the direction along which one finds everything which is most specious and unrewarding in the Marxist tradition.
