Economic Form and Social Reproduction: on the Place of ‘Book IF in Marx’s Critique of Political Economy

Paul Mattick

Chapter 2 in The Circulation of Capital, 1998, pp 17-32 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Even while honoring Engels’s achievement in creating the canonical text of Capital’s second volume out of the mass of manuscripts Marx left at his death, Maximilien Rubel remarks on ‘the grave error of presenting Book II as a work fundamentally complete, with only its form requiring revision’.1 Despite the fact that Marx worked on this material until his death, he did not succeed in developing it beyond the stage of drafts of phases of the argument, on the one hand, and quantities of illustrative material, on the other. Nevertheless we have enough to understand Marx’s intentions and follow his argument.
