The astonishingly rich body of works produced in 1833-4, when Marx was hardly twenty-five, formed the basis for his subsequent development. Commentators had long assumed that Marx’s own solutions to the underlying philosophical problems of Marxism could be found in the late works of Engels; it was only when the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts was published in 1932 that they discovered a radically different young Marx.
In these writings you can see Marx’s first presentation of such ideas as historical materialism and his theories on alienation as he moves towards developing a clear analysis of capitalism and its alternative.
