Note 882 — Chapter II · : STATE SOCIALISM

The first three Soziale Briefe, as well as the Forderungen, have been republished in Schriften von Dr. Karl Rodbertus-Jagetsow (Berlin, 1899, 3 vols.). This is the edition we quote. The fourth Brief, entitled Das Kapital, was written in 1852, but was not published until after Rodbertus’s death. It was translated into French in 1904 by M. Chatelain, and published by Messrs. Giard and Brière. Our references in the succeeding pages are to this edition. Two other articles written by Rodbertus have been published, one by R. Meyer under the title Briefe u. Sozialpolitische Aufsätze (Berlin, 1882), the other by Moritz Wirth under the title of Kleine Schriften (Berlin, 1890). For a complete bibliography of Rodbertus’s work see Andler’s Le Socialisme d’État en Allemagne (Paris, 1897). Professor Gonner has written an illuminating study of his political philosophy.
