Abstract
One of the main reasons why Volume One of Capital was so long in appearing and why the subsequent volumes never appeared at all is that Marx’s time was taken up by the work forced on him as the leading figure in the International.
The International belonged to the period of the Second Empire during which the oppression reigning throughout Europe prescribed unity and abstention from all internal polemics to the workers’ movement, then just reawakening.
Engels to Sorge (1874), MESC, p. 288
