190. Marx's Grundrisse, p. 42. The argument of these nine chapters is summarised
in Marx's short Wages, Prices and Profit which, since it was delivered to British
trade unionists (see pp. 338 f. below), can serve as an admirable introduction
to the more abstract parts of Capital.

/111 K. Marx, op. cit., 11 763. The fact that this passage is followed by a short
section on colonisation is probably due to a desire not to attract the attention
of the censor by finishing on too resounding a note.
1114. It is a sufficient indication of the disorder of the Marx archives that this
chapter - some 200 pages long - was only published in 1933. It is now
translated into English, and there is a French translation (ed. R. Dangeville,
Paris, 1971).

111 Rccent attempts to show that Marx's ideas are scientific have centred around
the work of L. Althusser, e.g. Reading Capital (London, 1970). A lot of the
ili-bate will seem, particularly to the uninitiated, to be peculiarly Byzantine.
