Abstract
The chapter focuses on the theoretical imagination that allowed Marx to grasp the global dimension of capitalism and to respond with the theory and practice of proletarian internationalism. The notion of the world market takes center stage in the analysis pursued here. Starting with the Communist Manifesto and The German Ideology, this essay underscores the link between the global dimension of capitalism and internationalism. The peculiarity of Marx’s notion of the world market is then investigated with respect to the critique of political economy, from Grundrisse to Capital, with a specific focus on the world history of “so-called primitive accumulation.” While there is no coincidence between the theoretical framework of the world market and Marx's political internationalism in the 1860s and 1870s, the last section of the chapter highlights a set of resonances between the two, particularly focusing on his writings on the United States and Ireland.
