When leading scholar of Marx, Roman Rosdolsky, first encountered the virtually unknown text of Marx's Grundrisse - his preparatory work for his masterpiece Das Capital - in the 1950s in New York Public Library, he recognized it as "e;a work of fundamental importance,"e; but declared "e;its unusual form"e; and "e;obscure manner of expression, made it far from suitable for reaching a wide circle of readers."e; David Harvey's Companion to Marx's Grundrisse builds upon his widely acclaimed companions to the first and second volumes of Capital in a way that will reach as wide an audience as possible. Marx's stated ambition for this text - where he was thinking aloud about some of possible metamorphoses of capitalism - is to reveal "e;the exact development of the concept of capital as the fundamental concept of modern economics, just as capital itself is the foundation of bourgeois society."e; While respecting Marx's desire to "e;bring out all the contradictions of bourgeois production, as well as the boundary where it drives beyond itself,"e; David Harvey also pithily illustrates the relevance of Marx's text to understanding the troubled state of contemporary capitalism.
