ABSTRACT
Marx was identified with the International in the public eye that people refused to believe that the chief of the general staff would remain in London after the general staff transferred to New York. After 1873 Marx never regained his old capacity for work. Again and again he sat down and started and in the autumn of 1878 believed that the second volume of would be finished within a year, but he never completed more than a few pages of the fair copy. England had served as the main illustration of theoretical development in the first volume of Das Kapital, and he intended to use Russia as the basis of his treatment of ground rent in the second volume. The second volume of Das Kapital was completed by Engels and published in 1885. The third volume appeared in 1894. Marx died on March 14, 1883, of a pulmonary abscess, buried in the cemetery at Highgate on March 17.
