The Grundrisse' is a series of seven notebooks written by Karl Marx in the winter of 1857-58, organising and developing, in rough-draft form, the results of his economic studies. Left aside by Marx in 1858, it remained unpublished until the Institute of Marx-Engels-Lenin in Moscow published it in 1939-41 as Grundrisse der Kritik der Politischen Ökonomie (Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy). It was not translated into Russian until 1968-69 and English until 1973.[1]
