Results of the Immediate Process of Production

by Karl Marx

"What is necessary, however, is to stress that what we find extensively dealt with in the 'Resultate' is nothing but a further development of one of the most striking aspects of the Grundrisse, namely Marx's theory of the objective socialization of labour by capitalism. For what Marx Sketches in these pages-summarizing what is already developed in Chapter 15 of Volume 1-is the way in which the integration of science and production, the development of technology and machinery , has a twofold way of objectively denying the private character of work and of labour which is the very essence of commodity production."-Ernest Mandel-

About the author

With the help of Friedrich Engels, German philosopher and revolutionary Karl Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto (1848) and Das Kapital (1867-1894), works, which explain historical development in terms of the interaction of contradictory economic forces, form many regimes, and profoundly influenced the social sciences.

German social theorist Friedrich Engels collaborated with Karl Marx on The Communist Manifesto in 1848 and on numerous other works.

Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin in London opposed Communism of Karl Marx with his antithetical anarchy.

Works of Jacques Martin Barzun include Darwin, Marx, Wagner (1941).

The Prussian kingdom introduced a prohibition on Jews, practicing law; in response, a man converted to Protestantism and shortly afterward fathered Karl Marx.

Marx began co-operating with Bruno Bauer on editing Philosophy of Religion of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (see Democritus and Epicurus), doctoral thesis, also engaged Marx, who completed it in 1841. People described the controversial essay as "a daring and original piece... in which Marx set out to show that theology must yield to the superior wisdom." Marx decided to submit his thesis not to the particularly conservative professors at the University of Berlin but instead to the more liberal faculty of University of Jena, which for his contributed key theory awarded his Philosophiae Doctor in April 1841. Marx and Bauer, both atheists, in March 1841 began plans for a journal, entitled Archiv des Atheismus (Atheistic Archives), which never came to fruition.

Marx edited the newspaper Vorwärts! in 1844 in Paris. The urging of the Prussian government from France banished and expelled Marx in absentia; he then studied in Brussels. He joined the league in 1847 and published.

Marx participated the failure of 1848 and afterward eventually wound in London. Marx, a foreigner, corresponded for several publications of United States.
He came in three volumes. Marx organized the International and the social democratic party.

Marx in a letter to C. Schmidt once quipped, "All I know is that I am not a Marxist," as Warren Allen Smith related in Who's Who in Hell .

People describe Marx, who most figured among humans. They typically cite Marx with Émile Durkheim and Max Weber, the principal modern architects.

Bertrand Russell later remarked of non-religious Marx, "His belief that there is a cosmic ... called dialectical materialism, which governs ... independently of human volitions, is mere mythology" ( Portraits from Memory , 1956).

[Halcyon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Considerably more difficult to read than any other part of Volume 1. Very interesting discussions on formal vs. real subsumption of labour under capital, and productive vs. unproductive labour.

Der Manuskript gebliebene Versuch durch Marx den ersten Teil vom Kapital I verständlicher zusammenzufassen. Wenn man das Glück hat, von der Existenz des Textes zu erfahren, wird er in der Regel als tatsächlich verständlichere Darstellung gepriesen. Dem ist aber nicht so. Wenn man nicht bereits mit dem Kapital vertraut ist, wird das eher ein schwierigerer Text sein.

Dafür bietet er andere Vorteile, namentlich für Menschen mit entsprechendem Vorwissen einige wichtige Aspekte der Theorie noch einmal eingehender zu beleuchten. So geht Marx beispielsweise gerade im ersten Teil dieses Textes noch einmal eingehend auf den Warenfetischismus ein und entwickelt ihn aus verschiedenen Perspektiven mit sehr schönen Formulierungen.
