Grundrisse

Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRU : Grundrisse

The Grundrisse (German language "Sketches") is a lengthy work by the German philosopher Karl Marx, completed in 1858. However, as it existed primarily as a collection of unedited notes, the work remained unpublished until 1941. The work is very wide-ranging in subject matter and covers all six sections of Marx's economics (of which only one, Das Kapital, ever reached a final form). The Grundrisse is often described as the rough draft to Capital, although there is considerable disagreement about the exact relationship between the two texts, particularly around the issue of methodology.

The Grundrisse is one of the central works of Marx, due to its wide range of topics covered and its incorporation of themes from some of Marx's earlier works. The diverse subjects it covers include production, distribution, exchange, alienation, value, labor, capitalism, the rise of technology and automation, pre-capitalist forms of social organization, and the preconditions for a Communist revolution.
