This ‘new reading of Marx’, initiated principally by Alfred Schmidt, Hans-Georg Backhaus and Helmut Reichelt, attempted to free Marx from the petrified schemes of Marxist orthodoxy. In this article we will try to reconstruct the beginnings of this project, tracing its roots to Adorno’s critical theory of society. From this perspective we will proceed to examine NML’s original approach to Marx’s theory of value, its understanding of the ‘logical’ character of this theory, and how the contradictions of the commodity form and the double character of labour constitute an autonomization of society. Finally, we will outline some problems with NML, where criticism and further dialogue would be fruitful.

We analyse Sereni’s essay written in 1970, in which we discern the outlines of its de nition and its distinction from the category of mode of production. We linger over the conceptu- alization of superstructural and genetic moment and over the controversy with Luporini’s Marxism of the forms. Then we try to understand the function that the notion of economic formation of so- ciety plays in Sereni’s historiographic and political work. Finally, we show how the notion of eco- nomic formation of society, as it has been developed by Sereni, can be brought back to the theoretic and political project of the Italian Marxist historicism.

In this article we will try to reconstruct the beginnings of this project, tracing its roots to Adorno’s critical theory of society.

The same cannot be said of his criticism of Samuel Bailey, which has for a long time remained in the shade . One only needs to look at the number of pages that Marx dedicates to Bailey in the section of Theories of Surplus-Value about the Dissolution of Ricardian School and the conspicuous number of quotations in Capital, Volume One, to see that it is difficult to underestimate Bailey’s role in Marx’s presentation [Darstellung]. My aim in this paper is not to reconstruct the role of the works of Samuel Bailey in the development of Marx’s critique of political economy from a historical point of view. My aim is rather a theoretical one, that is, to show that Ricardo and Bailey represent two fundamental moments of Marx’s presentation. “Moment” is here used in a non-generic sense: what I wish to highlight is that as they are presented in Marx’s critique of political economy, Ricardo’s and Bailey’s theories of value represent two opposite and contradictory sides of the category of value. Building on the work of Hans Georg Backhaus, who claims that the first chapter of Capital, Volume One, can only be understood as a metacritique of Bailey’s critique of Ricardo, I intend to develop this topic in order to further clarify the connection of critique and presentation, which Marx famously mentions in a well known letter to Lassalle.

The concept of society as objective totality, developed by Adorno in his sociological writings, finds its own core in the concept of exchange understood as real abstraction. In the reflection of Adorno, the notion of real abstraction, taken from Alfred Sohn-Rethel, remains undetermined, and the task of showing the genesis of the social objectivity remains at the stage of a project.
Marx’s critique of political economy, understood at the light of the analysis of the form of value developed by Backhaus and the Neue Marx-Lektüre, is able to achieve the task Adorno assigns to critical theory, that is, to show the “anamnesis of the genesis” of the autonomization of the society.
