Summary
Althusser and his co-writers attempt to analyse Marx's Capital: Critique of Political Economy in a scientific manner, and give an account of its underlying philosophy.[1]
Reception
The book caused a sensation in French intellectual circles, and attracted a large international readership.[2] The abridged English translation, which includes only Althusser and Balibar's contributions,[3] was published in 1970, and helped shape the development of Marxist thought in the English-speaking world throughout the 1970s.[2]
