Features: This volume selects works of Marx and Engels from 1857 to 1871, as well as excerpts from volumes II, III of Capital. The first work in this volume, Introduction, is the general introduction Marx intended to write for his monumental work on political economy. In Introduction, Marx elaborates in detail on the ideas regarding the object and methodology of political economy. Bourgeois economists sever the intrinsic connection between production and distribution, exchange, and consumption, viewing capitalist production as an eternal "general production," believing that only the distribution method changes, and thus often treat distribution relations as the research object of political economy.
