The Neue Marx-Lektüre has its roots in the new interpretations of Marx as well as in the re-readings of the Capital that arose in the milieu of the student movements of the mid-1960s in the Federal Republic of Germany. Following, on the one hand, Hegel’s dialectic and, on the other, the results of Marx-scholarship, the aim was to redeem what among the intellectuals of the first generation of the Critical Theory had remained rather an intuition and a mere postulate: the structural identity of Hegelian Spirit and Marx’s capital. Accordingly, a new reading – either called “logical-categorial” or “form-analytical” – arose, mostly directed at the value-theoretical analyses of the Capital. Classical Marxism read out of Marx’s Capital a rejection of the objective labour theory of value, whereas the Neue Marx-Lektüre sees itself either as a critique of “pre-monetary conceptions of value” (Backhaus, Reichelt) or as a “monetary theory of value” (Heinrich).
