Summary: in this book, Ernest Mandel, author of Late Capitalism, recently published by NLB, investigates the evolution of Marx's. economic ideas from their earliest begin nings down to the final preparation for the writing of Capital. Of particular interest is his treatment of the question of the relation between the ideas of the young Marx and those of the Marx who wrote Capital. This is often discussed in purely philosophical terms; here the emphasis is on the develop ment of a scientific and critical economic theory. Mandel joins issue with others who have sought to interpret Marx on these questions and draws for evidence on Marx's Grundrisse as well as more familiar writings. In his final chapter Mandel carries the argument forward into the present and future by discussing whether alienation is inevitable in industrial societies or can be progressively overcome in a socialist society. Wide documentation and an extensive bib liography make this book an excellent guide to the most essential dimensions of Marx's thought.
