Grundrisse (Marx)

"Grundrisse" is a series of unpublished notebooks by Karl Marx that outline his early ideas on capitalism, production, and labor. It explores how economies function, focusing on the dynamic processes of wealth creation, class relations, and the role of technology. Marx examines the underlying structures of capitalism, highlighting its tendencies toward expansion, crisis, and change. The work provides a foundation for his later theories, emphasizing that capitalist development is driven by internal contradictions and the pursuit of profit, which ultimately shape social and economic transformations. It remains a key text for understanding Marx’s critique of capitalism.
