The nature of the contemporary global political economy and the
significance of the current crisis are a matter of wide-ranging
intellectual and political debate, which has contributed to a
revival of interest in Marx's critique of political economy. This
book interrogates such a critique within the broader framework of
the history of political economy, and offers a new appreciation of
its contemporary relevance. A distinctive feature of this study is
its use of the new historical critical edition of the writings of
Marx and Engels (MEGA(2)), their partially unpublished notebooks in
particular. The sheer volume of this material forces a renewed
encounter with Marx. It demonstrates that the international sphere
and non-European societies had an increasing importance in his
research, which developed the scientific elements elaborated by
Marx's predecessors. This book questions widespread assumptions
that the nation-state was the starting point for the analysis of
development. It explores the international foundations of political
economy, from mercantilism to Adam Smith and David Ricardo and to
Hegel, and investigates how the understanding of the international
political economy informs the interpretations of history to which
it gave rise. The book then traces the developments of Marx's
critique of political economy from the early 1840s to Capital
Volume 1 and shows that his deepening understanding of the laws of
capitalist uneven and combined development allowed him to recognise
the growth of a world working class. Marx's work thus offers the
necessary categories to develop an alternative to methodological
nationalism and Eurocentrism grounded in a critique of political
economy. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in
the development of Marx's thought and in the foundations of
International Political Economy.
