Between December 1880 and June 1881, Marx’s research interests focused on a new discipline: anthropology. He began with the study of Ancient Society (1877), a work by the U.S. anthropologist Lewis Morgan. What struck Marx most was the way in which Morgan treated production and technological factors as preconditions of social progress, and he felt m...

Resumo: Na primeira parte da década de 1860, o interesse jornalístico e escolar de Marx na diplomacia e na política internacional o levaram a voltar sua atenção para dois importantes eventos históricos. O primeiro foi o estouro da guerra civil americana, quando sete estados escravocratas declararam sua secessão dos EUA. O segundo foi o levante do p...

While political science has probed the ideological, political, economic and even psychological motivations behind the drive to war, socialist theory has made a unique contribution by highlighting the relationship between the development of capitalism and war. There’s a long and rich tradition of the Left’s opposition to militarism that dates back t...

The International Working Men’s Association was the prototype of all organizations of the Labor movement. It helped workers to grasp that the emancipation of labour could not be won in a single country but was a global objective. The International spread an awareness in their ranks that they had to achieve the goal themselves, through their own cap...

The Paris Commune had shown that the aim of the working class had to be one of building a society radically different from capitalism and embodied the idea of social-political change and its practical application. It became synonymous with the very concept of revolution and inspired Karl Marx to develop his reflections on communism. The alternative...

This article analyses Marx’s conviction that the expansion of the capitalist mode of production was a basic prerequisite for the birth of communist society. It overviews this idea through the whole of Marx’s oeuvre, from his early political writings to the studies of the last decade. Particular relevance is given to the analysis of Capital and its...

In Capital and its preparatory manuscripts, Marx went deeper into the problematic of alienation, linking his economic and political analysis more closely to each other. In the capitalist mode of production, the separation between the workers and the means of production—a prerequisite for the buying and selling of labour-power—reaches the point wher...

In these manuscripts, written between the late 1850s and the early 1860s, Marx’s considerations on alienation were much deeper and more detailed than those in his early writings. He meticulously described how the workers in bourgeois society is under the command of capital and how the product of their activity becomes an alien power. These writings...

Alienation was one of the most important and widely debated themes of the twentieth century and Marx’s reflections on this concept defined significant moments in its dissemination. Most of the authors who initially wrote on alienation considered it a universal aspect of human existence. Additionally, after World War II the popularity of the concept...

In these texts Marx argued that workers in bourgeois society is alienated in four senses: (1) by the product of their labour, which becomes an alien object holding sway over them; (2) in their work activity, which is seen as turned against them and not belonging to them; (3) by the human race, since human’s species being is transformed into a being...

This book presents a Marx that is in many ways different from the one popularized by the dominant currents of twentieth-century Marxism. The dual aim of this edited volume is to contribute to a new critical discussion of some of the classical themes of Marx’s thought and to develop a deeper analysis of certain questions to which relatively little a...

The theory of alienation occupies a significant place in the work of Marx and has long been considered one of his main contributions to the critique of bourgeois society. Many authors who have written on this concept over the 20th century have erroneously based their interpretations on Marx’s early writings. In this anthology, by contrast, Marcello...
