Description
This article discusses Marx's theory of money and its connection to his political and philosophical beliefs. It challenges the idea of an epistemological break in Marx's work and explores the relationship between his concept of money and his early ideas on alienation.
This work relates Marx's theory of money to his overall political economy, and places it firmly within the wider context of his political and philosophical thought. It has for some time been held that there exists an epistomological break between the early 'humanist' and later 'scientific' Marx. However, in this ground-breaking study Anitra Nelson links Marx's conecept of money to his early key concepts with particular reference to 'alienation'.
