Marx, Karl. Le Capital. Extraits faits par M. Paul Lafargue.

€ 800,00

First edition of this abridgement of Marx's "Kapital", edited and arranged by the French Marxist Paul Lafargue (1842-1911), a founding member of the French Workers' Party and son-in-law of Marx. Includes a biography of Marx. In a rather surprising pairing, the famously libertarian publishing house Guillaumin commissioned the Italian economist and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto to provide a lengthy introduction. Although Pareto was insistent on the theoretical importance of Marx's emphasis on the concept of class struggle, his criticism of Marx as an economist centred on his conformity with the labour theory of value of the classical school.
