Verso Books | David Harvey on Marx's Grundrisse @VersoBooks | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 hours ago
David Harvey explains why the Covid lockdown meant he finally wrote a companion to Marx's infamous notebooks, the Grundrisse.
When leading scholar of Marx, Roman Rosdolsky, first encountered the virtually unknown text of Marx's Grundrisse - his preparatory work for his masterpiece Das Capital - in the 1950s in New York Public Library, he recognized it as "a work of fundamental importance," but declared "its unusual form" and "obscure manner of expression, made it far from suitable for reaching a wide circle of readers."
