abstract = {In the 1850s, Karl Marx’s thought underwent a genuine revolution. After relocating to England, he confronted classical political economy anew, finding it unable to account for value growth and capitalist accumulation. Beginning with the methodological turn in the Grundrisse and its explicitly anti-positivist stance, Marx shifted explanation from market appearances to the sphere of production, where surplus value becomes fundamental. This reorientation culminated in a decisive break with his early technolgical determinism: Marx accords primacy to the relations of production over productive forces in explaining the origins of capitalism, the dynamics of accumulation and the specifically capitalist drive toward productivity growth.},
