First English translation?[edit]

Hello. Don't know if this page is monitored well or not, but was wondering if anyone knows the date of the first translation into English of these? Had someone arguing that Odet's Awake and Sing! (1935) was influenced, but that seemed to be cutting it a bit fine. Much appreciated. DionysosProteus 14:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it is 1959 I think, by Martin Milligan (best of my knowledge).

This page has overall a lot of mistakes, original well-intentioned but incorrect 'research' and opinion, unfortunately.

For instance, the first manuscript of Marx refers extensively to Adam Smith using direct quotes, and so is fundamentally economic in nature, not as the text suggests chiefly concerned with Feuerbach. -- Ninjabeard (talk) 19:01, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As did Aristotle, Marx argues that the market system does not serve a mere desire of exchange, but the aim of profit.[edit]

In what work did Aristotle say that?

M-C-M[edit]

Marx does indeed make the argument that market exchange can be represented as "M-C-M". However, he makes this argument in Das Kapital, not the Paris Manuscripts. It's misleading to include it on this page. -- Hanshans23 (talk) 14:38, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edits flagged as copyright violations[edit]

Some edits I made to this page were flagged as copyright violations. I dispute this. Firstly the source that was flagged was David McLellan's Karl Marx: his Life and Thought, when my source was one of McLellan's other books Marx Before Marxism (which contains a lot of the same information). Secondly, my edits were referenced paraphrases from a chapter in this book. The chapter I used is a quote-heavy exposition of the notebooks by Karl Marx that the article deals with. The sentences flagged are a series of paraphrases from the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts. I have merely done for McLellan's book what he does for Marx's notebooks. -- Hanshans23 (talk) 14:56, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
