O dinheiro do espírito: idealismo e crítica da economia política no jovem Marx

The aim of the article is to present an interpretation of the theoretical status of the critique of political economy of the young Marx. For this, it privileges the so-called Economic-philosophical manuscripts and Excerpts from the James Mill’s Book “Éléments d’économie politique”. In this context, this article seeks to clarify the mutually constitutive relation that Marx saw between political economy, Hegel’s idealism and the capitalist society. It is sustained the idea that this relation defines the general theoretical meaning of the author’s project of critique of political economy, as well as the notions of critique and dialectics employed there.
