"Wage Labour and Capital" (German: Lohnarbeit und Kapital) is the text of the 1847 lectures by the political economist and philosopher Karl Marx, first published as five articles in the Neue Rheinische Zeitung in April 1849. It was later republished in different forms and many languages as a pamphlet or booklet. It is said to consist important future arguments concerning the relation between labour and capital in his major work Das Kapital (1867) in an embryonic form.^[1]

This text is sometimes paired with Marx's 1865 lecture Value, Price and Profit.^[2]

Background

Marx started studying political economy intensively between 1843 and 1847 in Paris and Brussels.^[3] Evidence of this bear his unpublished Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 (eventually published in the early 1930s after his death) and Misère de la Philosophie (The Poverty of Philosophy), published in French in 1847.

An important input to his economic studies was given by Friedrich Engels, who published in 1844 "Umrisse zu einer Kritik der Nationalökonomie" (Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy) in the Deutsch–Französische Jahrbücher (German-French annals) and in 1845 Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in England (The Condition of the Working Class in England).

In some biographies Wage-Labour and Capital is only shortly mentioned, wedged between the German Ideology of 1847 and the Communist Manifesto of 1848. But the text marks an interesting point in the development of fundamental concepts of marxist economic theory. Marx stated for the first time his thoughts about the relative pauperisation of the proletariat, and he sketches the outlines of the theory of the reserve army of workers.^[4] Mehring. in his Karl Marx. Geschichte seines Leben (Karl Marx: The Story of His Life; 1918), gives an important role to the lectures on wage-labour and capital that were delivered by Marx to the German Workingmen's Club^[5] in Brussels in 1847.
