The Formation of the Economic Thought of Karl Marx: 1843 to Capital (French: La formation de la pensée économique de Karl Marx: de 1843 à la rédaction du "Capital") is a 1967 book by Ernest Mandel, in which Mandel discusses the economic theories of Karl Marx. It appeared in English translation in 1971.[1]

Summary

Mandel analyses the development of Marx's economic thought up to and including the Grundrisse.[2]

Scholarly reception

When the work was published in English in 1971, a review welcomed it as important contribution to scholarship on Marx.[1]

Political scientist David McLellan called Mandel's work "excellent" in the 1995 edition of his Karl Marx: His Life and Thought.[2] McLellan recommended the book, together with Mandel's An Introduction to Marxist Economic Theory, as the best introduction to Marx's economics.[3]
