Editorial introduction to two fragments on value

Below are two texts by Marx not before translated into Swedish. The first one, with the title »Value» is from the Grundrisse (1857–8), interestingly taken from the very end of these Manuscripts. It consists of a first and, as will be seen, unfinished sketch of how the editions to follow of Marx's great critique of political economy, with some minor revisions in the different editions (of 1859, 1867, and 1872) came to be introduced.1) Thereof the note at the beginning that this paragraph is to be moved forward. It finally ended up constituting the very first sentence of his presentation.
