1 Triggered by the US financial crisis in 2007, the world economy experienced the gravest crisis since the Great Depression. Far from showing any sign of recovery, it has been still struggling with increasing seriousness of debt crisis, unemployment, poverty, energy problem and other symptoms of economic failure. Karl Marx experienced economic crises of the 19 th century in real time, and especially as for the 1857 crisis that was the first world economic crisis in human history and the following crisis, he eagerly collected detailed data from actual journalism and documented the courses of the crises in several note books. These note books, which are being now edited for MEGA volumes in Japan, can be seen as a first-class primary material for the historical research on the crises. As a representative stream of economics that has focused on the economic crisis, Marxian scholars have continued their theoretical and empirical research endeavors on the topic since more than a century. Their large stock of knowledge and insight must be reviewed towards a new theoretical framework to explain and solve the contemporary problems. The conference presents philological and theoretical outcomes from MEGA edition of Marx original note books and provides overviews and new perspectives from Marxian crisis discourses.
