Synopsis: David Harvey tackles Marx's notebooks that have spawned wide-ranging and raging controversiesWhen 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.&”David Harvey&’s Companion to Marx&’s Grundrisse builds upon his widely acclaimed companions to the first and second volumes of Capital in a way that will reach as wide an audience as possible. Marx&’s stated ambition for this text - where he was thinking aloud about some of possible metamorphoses of capitalism - is to reveal &“the exact development of the concept of capital as the fundamental concept of modern economics, just as capital itself is the foundation of bourgeois society.&” While respecting Marx&’s desire to &“bring out all the contradictions of bourgeois production, as well as the boundary where it drives beyond itself,&” David Harvey also pithily illustrates the relevance of Marx&’s text to understanding the troubled state of contemporary capitalism.
