- Marx's early work is usually considered a stepping-stone to the Marx of Capital. This 237-page book offers something completely different. The German Ideology is considered the transition point to Marx’s mature work. It was unpublished, but Burnham and Lamb note that Marx declared publication unnecessary because it had served its purpose for ‘self-clarification.’ The First Marx challenges orthodox interpretations, piecing together fragments, letters, and occasional writing to show that the first Marx elaborated a coherent political philosophy that merits consideration in its own right. Addressing standard readings required extensive research and careful argumentation, taking over three years for each author.
