 Wage Labour and CapitalMarx, Karl http://www.connexions.org/CxArchive/MIA/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/index.htmhttp://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/index.htm Year Published: 1891 First Published: 1847 Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX10968 From Engels' 1891 introduction: "This pamphlet first appeared in the form of a series of leading articles in the Neue Rheinische Zeitung, beginning on April 4th, 1849. The text is made up of from lectures delivered by Marx before the German Workingmen’s Club of Brussels in 1847. The series was never completed. Marx, in the ’40s, had not yet completed his criticism of political economy. This was not done until toward the end of the fifties. Consequently, such of his writings as were published before the first installment of his Critique of Political Economy was finished, deviate in some points from those written after 1859, and contain expressions and whole sentences which, viewed from the standpoint of his later writings, appear inexact, and even incorrect."
