To fully grasp Marx's theory of the labor movement, Lapides
supplies a deeper insight into the economic analysis underlying it.
This book presents Marx's theory of wages and wage labor,
previously scattered throughout his writings, in its entirety for
the first time. The author places the theory in its historical
context, locating the sources of Marx's wage theory, its
intellectual antecedents, and the roots of later controversies, but
the primary focus of the work is the actual development of Marx's
theory in the words in which he expressed it. In order to reveal
the true nature and rich texture of Marx's thought, the author has
assembled Marx's own formulations, scattered throughout his
numerous works and buried beneath mountains of commentary and
criticism. The book provides a faithful record of the complete
evolutionary progress of Marx's theory.
Virtually everything Marx and Engels ever wrote on labor strikes
and trade unions has been collected in this volume for the first
time. It includes vivid, often eyewitness accounts of many of the
greatest strikes and labor struggles of the last century. This
original and valuable collection challenges the prevailing
assumption that Marx and Engels cared little for trade unions and
their role in the transition to socialism or that they had little
practical involvement with unions. Lapides illuminates the immense
part personally played by Marx and Engels in helping to establish
the modern labor movement. Covering the period 1844-1894, the book
features graphic and moving portrayals of contemporary labor
stuggles, candid personal views of various labor leaders, biting
polemics against socialist rivals, and eloquent passages. Lapides
provides an introduction that places the excerpts in historical and
theoretical context.
