This book is the first complete commentary on Marx's manuscripts
of 1861-63, works that guide our understanding of fundamental
concepts such as 'surplus-value' and 'production price'.
The recent publication of Marx's writings in their entirety has
been a seminal event in Marxian scholarship. The hitherto unknown
second draft of Volume 1 and first draft of Volume 3 of Capital,
both published in the Manuscripts of 1861-63, now provide an
important intermediate link between the Grundrisse and the final
published editions of Capital. In this book, Enrique Dussel, one of
the most original Marxist philosophers in the world today, provides
an authoritative and detailed commentary on the manuscripts of
1861-63.
The main points which Dussel emphasises in this path-breaking
work are:
- The fundamental category in Marx's theory is 'living labour'
which exists outside of capital and which capital must subsume in
order to produce surplus-value
- Theories of Surplus Value is not a historical survey of
previous theories, but rather a 'critical confrontation' through
which Marx developed new categories for his own theory
- The most important new categories developed in this manuscript
are related to the 'forms of appearance' of surplus value.
The final part of the book discusses the relevance of the
Manuscripts of 1861-63 to contemporary global capitalism,
especially to the continuing underdevelopment and extreme poverty
of Latin America.
