(HT, Sebastian Budgen)
Marx undertook extensive historical studies, covering alarge part of
what was then known as world history. The four large notebooks with
excerpts from the works of (mainly) two leading historian of his time,
Schlosser and Botta, have remained largely unpublished. In this article,
Marx's last studies of the course of world history are contextualized:
Marx’s previous historical studies and his ongoing,but unfinished work
on the critique of political economy. The range and scope of his notes
is astoundingly broad, going far beyond European history and actually
covering many other parts of the world. Marx’s focus in these studies
supports the interpretation offered in the article: that the author of
“Capital” was fascinated by the long process of the making of the modern
states and the European states system, one of the crucial prerequisites
of the rise of modern capitalism in Europe.
