In the Engels' edition of Book II of Marx's Capital there exists a famous passage relating to the so-called "inherent contradiction between production and consumption." That is, "Production potentials can never (nie) be utilised to such an extent that more value may not only be produced but also realised." This text has long been regarded as a material evidence to proof that Marx would discuss the contradiction in the third section of his Capital Book II. However the word "never (nie)" in this passage was deciphered as "only (nur)" by experts of Moskow. Thereby the meaning would be completely reversed: "Production potentials can be utilised only to such an extent that more value may not only be produced but also realised." In this article the author analyses Marx's handwriting of the word in question and concludes that it can be read just only as "only (nur)". Besides the autor makes out that Marx used the expression "only such an extent that … (nur so weit …, als …)" frequently, but it is hardly possible to find in his works the expression "never … such an extent that … (nie so weit …, als …)".
