No, not the journal. The following search was inspired by something that Geert wrote recently and I decided to follow-up on. I did a word search at http://www.marxists.org for the 3 volumes of _Capital_ for "class". Here's what I found: in all 3 volumes there were 9l references to "class". Yet, in looking through the references, I saw that 25 meant "group" or "classification" and thus did not refer to Marx's perspective on class. So far, the net is then 66. However, if we now deduct ll references in the "Prefaces" and "Afterwards" (most of these by Engels), the table of contents (for V3), the study guides at the site (not written by M&E), and the "Synopsis" by Engels (which also showed-up in the word search), then -- deducting ll from 66 -- there are *55 references to class in all three volumes of _Capital_*. In my view, this (along with the location of the extremely brief and unfinished Chapter 52 in Volume 3 on "Classes") is *strong* evidence that this subject of class was not incorporated in a systematic way into the structure of _Capital_ and consequently is a "post-Capital" subject which Marx originally planned to incorporate into "Economics" as Books 2-3 on "Landed Property" and Wage-Labour" respectively. This, in my view, says something very important in terms of whether _Capital_ can be viewed as a 'terminal' book or just l in a series of proposed books. Do others agree? In solidarity, Jerry
