This review is from: Marx: Early Political Writings (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought) (Paperback)
I have been reading books on the ideas of the young Marx for a few years, and I am glad that this collection was made in a manner that will allow those who appreciate the way a thinker derives ideas from considering first religion, then philosophy, then political economy, in order to come up with ideas about the essential nature of any ideology for a particular social system to reconstruct the context in which Marx came up with many basic ideas. Material that was translated into English as manuscripts in 1932 is identified in this book as "From the Paris Notebooks (1844)." Much of the material in this book was not published during Marx's lifetime, but Marx spent years compiling notebooks on matters that he was studying. Among his conclusions about having and using things, I tend to agree with "Private property has made us so stupid and narrow-minded, . . ." (p. 82).
