Marx's 'Capital' (Routledge Revivals)Philosophy and Political Economy\nAuthor(s): Geoffrey Pilling\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138874107, 978-1138874107\nSynopsis\nMarxs Capital has of course been widely read; this revival of a systematic study by Geoffrey Pilling, originally published in 1980, argues powerfully that, in order to understand Capital fully, it is necessary to have read and understood Hegels Logic. This argument leads to a detailed examination of the opening chapters of Capital, and a re-examination of their significance for the work as a whole.\n\nPilling emphasizes the fundamental nature of the break between Marxs Capital and all forms of classical political economy, and stresses the revolutionary nature of Marxs critique of political economy as one of the foundations of Capital. He also lays particular emphasis on the philosophical aspects of the work, so often neglected by British commenta.
