Description
A collection of seven notebooks on capital and money, it both develops the arguments outlined in the Communist Manifesto (1848) and explores the themes and theses that were to dominate his great later work Capital. Here, for the first time, Marx set out his own version of Hegel's dialectics and developed his mature views on labour, surplus value and profit, offering many fresh insights into alienation, automation and the dangers of capitalist society. Yet while the theories in Grundrisse make it a vital precursor to Capital, it also provides invaluable descriptions of Marx's wider-ranging philosophy, making it a unique insight into his beliefs and hopes for the foundation of a communist state.

This was my second foray into Marx- having only completed The Communist Manifesto. It's a complex, multi-layered, sophisticated and extremely interesting document. While I feel I need some supplemental reading to comprehend better what I have rerad, I still feel that with this core text I have
3.5 stars.
