The arrangement of the material and the notes correspond on the whole to the Russian edition of Marx- Engels, Collected Works, Vol. 26, Part III, Moscow, 1964, prepared by the Institute of Marxism-Leninism in Moscow, where the manuscript of the work is kept. We have attempted to keep the translation as closely as possible to the original. When, for the sake of clarity, it has been found necessary to insert a few words these are enclosed in square brackets. In order to avoid confu- sion, the square brackets occasionally used by Marx in the manuscript have been replaced either by pointed brackets < > or, when the passages en- closed were longer, by braces ! ∃. Quotations from French, German and Italian authors are given in En- glish in the text and are reproduced in the original language in the Appen- dix. In the case of British writers cited by Marx from a French source, the original English version appears in the text and the French translation used by Marx in the Appendix. Where an omission in a passage quoted has not been indicated by Marx, the ellipsis is enclosed in square brackets. Other discrepancies between the quotations as recorded by Marx and as they appear in the original source, are mentioned in footnotes. Words underlined by Marx, both in his own writing and in the extracts quoted by him, are set in italics, as are also titles of publications and for- eign words customarily italicised (words underscored by two lines are set in spaced italics). Chapter and section headings correspond in general to those of the Rus- sian edition. Headings set in square brackets have been provided by the In- stitute of Marxism-Leninism in Moscow on the basis of formulations used by Marx in the chapter or section in question. The numbers of Marx's notebooks are indicated by Roman numerals, those of the manuscript pages by Arabic numerals, which are separated from the text by vertical lines. As a rule these numbers are printed only at the beginning of the relevant portion of the manuscript, but where passages have been transposed the number of the manuscript page (and, when there is a change to another notebook, also the number of the notebook) is shown both at the beginning of the passage and at the end.

  • Thomas Hodgskin and Economic Progress; a Radical Reconstruction of His Endogenous Growth Theory
    THOMAS HODGSKIN AND ECONOMIC PROGRESS; A RADICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF HIS ENDOGENOUS GROWTH THEORY F.G. Day PhD 2009 THOMAS HODGSKIN AND ECONOMIC PROGRESS; A RADICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF HIS ENDOGENOUS GROWTH THEORY Frederick George Day A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Economics The Manchester Metropolitan University June 2009 1 Declaration I confirm that no part of this thesis has been submitted for the award of a qualification at this or any other university. 2 Abstract By means of a close reading of early 19th century economic works, and by reconstructing aspects of Thomas Hodgskin‘s political economy, this thesis presents an exposition of those parts of his work that contributed to his position on growth. Rather than concentrating on his ideas on capital, we have centred on his concept of political economy as a science concerned with labour as the sole creator of wealth. We present his political economy as having labour as its focal point within a hypothetical pure market economy. From here he sought a foundation to economic growth derived from human action rather than capital or other material circumstances. Hodgskin saw human knowledge and the use of technology as the starting point that would, from his perspective, lead inevitably to those economic conditions that produce improvements in economic welfare and by doing so allow for an increase in population. In order to demonstrate his ideas on growth, we reconstruct his concepts of what was natural and artificial to equate to the modern notions of endogenous and exogenous.

  • 1. the Damnation of Economics
    Notes 1. The Damnation of Economics 1. One example of vice-regal patronage of anti-economics is Canada’s ‘Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction’. In 1995 this honour was bestowed upon John Raulston Saul’s anti-economic polemic The Unconscious Civilization (published in 1996). A taste of Saul’s wisdom: ‘Over the last quarter-century economics has raised itself to the level of a scientific profession and more or less foisted a Nobel Prize in its own honour onto the Nobel committee thanks to annual financing from a bank. Yet over the same 25 years, economics has been spectacularly unsuc- cessful in its attempts to apply its models and theories to the reality of our civili- sation’ (Saul 1996, p. 4). See Pusey (1991) and Cox (1995) for examples of patronage of anti-economics by Research Councils and Broadcasting Corporations. 2. Another example of economists’ ‘stillness’: the economists of 1860 did not join the numerous editorial rebukes of Ruskin’s anti-economics tracts (Anthony, 1983). 3. The anti-economist is not to be contrasted with the economist. An economist (that is, a person with a specialist knowledge of economics) may be an anti- economist. The true obverse of anti-economist is ‘philo-economist’: someone who holds that economics is a boon. 4. One may think of economics as a disease (as the anti-economist does), or one may think of economics as diseased. Mark Blaug: ‘Modern economics is “sick” . To para- phrase the title of a popular British musical: “No Reality, Please. We’re Economists”’ (Blaug 1998, p.

  • „Ricardische Sozialisten”?
    ERNST NOLTE THOMAS HOPKINS UND T. R. EDMONDS - ZWEI VERGESSENE ,,RICARDISCHE SOZIALISTEN"? ZUGLEICH EIN BEITRAG ZUR BEGRIFFSKLARUNG Im Paragraphen 2 der Misere de la philosophic fiihrt Marx in der Polemik gegen Proudhon drei Titel von englischen ,,Sozialisten" an, in denen langst vor Proudhon ,,die egalitare Anwendung der Ricardoschen Theorie" vor- geschlagen worden sei: Nous pourrions citer a M. Proudhon: VEconomie politique de Hopkins, 1822; William Thompson: An Inquiry into the Principles of the distribution of wealth, most conducive to human happiness, 1824; T. R. Edmonds: Prac- tical, moral and political Economy, 1828; etc., etc., et quatre pages d'etc.1 Marx zitiert jedoch nichts aus einem dieser Werke, sondern setzt sich im folgenden mit dem ,,bemerkenswerten Werk" des ,,englischen Kommuni- sten" J. F. Bray Labour's wrongs and labour's remedy von 1839 auseinander, um den Nachweis zu fiihren, daU die Herleitung des Wertes aus der Arbeitszeit und damit Proudhons Grundthese lediglich die gegenwartigen Verhaltnisse spiegele und mithin keineswegs geeignet sei, das Wesen der kiinftigen sozialistischen Gesellschaft zu charakterisieren. Die Bedeutung dieser Stelle ist leicht zu erkennen. Zum ersten Mai nimmt Marx hier eine Kenntnis der sogenannten ,,ricardischen Soziali- sten" in Anspruch, die nach der These angesehener Autoren wie G. D. H. Cole, L. Brentano und R. Michels die eigentlichen Vorlaufer seines ,,wissenschaftlichen Sozialismus" gewesen sind. In den Okonomisch-phi- losophischen Manuskripten und in der Deutschen Ideologic zitiert oder erwahnt er zwar die ,,biirgerlichen Okonomen" Smith und Ricardo und die franzosischen Sozialisten Proudhon und Pecqueur bzw. Blanc, aber von denjenigen, die meist als die Hauptvertreter des ,,ricardischen Sozia- lismus" angesehen werden, namlich von William Thompson, Thomas Hodgskin, John Gray und John F.
