Martin Nicolaus, 1973, used by permission of the translator. The online edition has been transcribed for MEIA from the Penguin edition, transl. Rosdolsky states that only three or four copies of the 1939-41 edition ever reached ‘the western world’. It is referred to hereafter as Grundrisse. A photo-offset reprint of the two volumes bound in one, minus illustrations and facsimiles, was issued by Dietz Verlag, Berlin (E.), in 1953, and is the basis of the present translation. The second added fragments from Marx’s 1851 notebooks of excerpts from Ricardo, the fragment ‘Bastiat and Carey’ (also included in this translation), and miscellaneous related material also extensive annotations and sources. The first volume contained the introduction and the seven notebooks translated here. A limited edition was published by Foreign Language Publishers in Moscow in two volumes, 19 respectively, under the editorship of the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute, Moscow. The manuscript became lost in circumstances still unknown and was first effectively published, in the German original, in 1953.

The series of seven notebooks were rough-drafted by Marx, chiefly for purposes of self-clarification, during the winter of 1857-8. Do note, though, Marx did not intend it for publication as is, so it can be stylistically very rough in places. It is an extremely rich and thought-provoking work, showing signs of humanism and the influence of Hegelian dialectic method. Most were early works – like the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts – but the Grundrisse stood alone as issuing forth from the most intense period of Marx’s decade-long, in-depth study of economics. Soviet Marxologists released several never-before-seen Marx/Engels works in the 1930s. Marx wrote this huge manuscript as part of his preparation for what would become A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy(published in 1859) and Capital (published 1867).
