MARX, Karl (1818-1883)

Zur Kritik der politischen Oekonomie… Erstes Heft [all published]. Berlin: Franz Duncker, 1859.

Very rare first edition – one of just 1000 copies printed – of the most important pre-cursor to Das Kapital. We are able to trace just two copies at auction in over thirty years. Zur Kritik der politischen Oekonomie represents a foundational moment in the development of Marxist thought, being the author’s first attempt at a general statement of his economic theories following sustained research in the reading room at the British Museum. Marx himself described Das Kapital as the natural continuation of the present work. See PMM 359; Rubel 529.



Octavo (209 x 135mm). (Tiny tears to edges of title neatly reinforced, blank upper right portion of title near-imperceptibly replaced with contemporary German inventory inscription on different paper, some light marginal staining heavier to pp.55-78.) Late-19th-century half cloth over marbled paper boards (front free endpaper detached, extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: occasional marginal annotations in ink or pencil.
