Abstract

This chapter is on Engels’ editorship of the second and third volume of Das Kapital. It leads to the remarkable conclusion that Marx and Engels in none of these volumes wrote that capitalism would itself create the conditions for its ruin. That version of its ruin was announced in the Communist Manifesto and Kapital I. Engels wrote and composed Kapital II and III and so there were critics early in the twentieth century who accused Engels of the fact that he had tampered with Marx’s message. That criticism will be refuted for different reasons.
