Book Description
Reviews written by Engels of Critique of Political Economy and
of Capital contain an invaluable introduction to the study of Capital itself.
In reviewing the Critique of Political Economy for a German
paper The People, Engels points out that scientific political economy arose in
Germany with the rise of the working class party. It is grounded on the
materialist conception of history. Engels deals with Marx’s relation to Hegel,
and then shows how Marx’s dialectic was applied in explaining the nature of
commodities.
Two reviews of Capital by Engels, written for the Leipzig
Democratic Weekly and for the London Fortnightly Review, give a simple account
of Marx’s discovery of surplus value. Engels began the writing of a Synopsis of
Capital, which he carried on as far as Part IV. This synopsis is a most
valuable guide and companion to the study of Capital itself.
