Recenzje

"Drawing from contributions from 14 members of the Japan Society for the History of Economic Thought, the editors focus on Marx in the twenty-first century, contemporary problems in Marx studies, the reception of Marx into modern Japan, and new horizons of Marxology. The result is a collection with such topics as Marx and modernity, Marx’s economic theory and the prospects for socialism, Marx and the future of post-capitalist society, the influence of Marx on distributive justice and the environmental problem, reappraisals of Marx’s theories of history and labor money, a comparison of Marx and J. S. Mill on socialism, a bioeconomic Marx-Weber paradigm, Japanese cultural concepts of eclecticism and civil society, and amongst essays on new horizons, topics such as Louis Blanc and associationism in France, the Brussels Democratic Association and the Communist Manifesto and editorial problems in establishing a new edition of The German Ideology." --Reference & Research Book News
