As some of you may know, in July the first volume of the Collected Works of Rosa Luxemburg will be released by Verso.
If we have to believe historicalmaterialism "most of these writings—as much as 80 per cent—have never before appeared in English, and some will be published for the first time anywhere". This thus could be a major change in our perception of Luxemburg and Marxism even.
This first volume of Rosa Luxemburg’s Complete Works, entitled Economic Writings I, will contain some of Luxemburg’s most important writings on the globalization of capital, wage labor, imperialism and pre-capitalist economic formations, most of which have never before appeared in English. In addition to including a new translation of her doctoral dissertation, The Industrial Development of Poland, it will include the first complete English translation of her Introduction to Political Economy, which explores (among other issues) the impact of capitalist commodity production and industrialization upon non-capitalist social strata in the developing world.
The volume will also include ten recently discovered manuscripts, all of which will appear in English for the first time.
The manuscripts that have been discovered are on the history of ancient, medieval, and early modern societies, Marx’s Capital, and the causes and consequences of capitalist crises.
Now here's the problem, for this 14 volume serie there's money needed. A big part of the goal has been achieved but more is always useful, so here people can contribute: http://toledotranslationfund.org/project/the-complete-works-of-rosa-luxemburg/
