Opis

Geoff Pilling s work shows that Marxist theory is relevant to those struggling to understand the problems of capitalist society today, and that the work not only of Marx and Engels but that of later Marxist theorists, including Lenin is worth studying. It also shows that to understand the problems of today s society needs more than narrow specialist economic analysis, but a deep awareness of current developments in society."

Recenzje

"Capitalism’s latest global crisis and slump have made Geoff Pilling’s work newly relevant. His essays on value and crisis, and on Marx vs. Keynes and Marx vs. Sraffa, that are brought together here are especially timely. Keith Gibbard’s intellectual biography of the author, which introduces the volume, is lucid and masterful. One of the foremost contributors to the revival of the Marxian critique of political economy a generation ago, Pilling carried forward a tradition that did not divide theory from practice or economics from philosophy. And his precise, accurate scholarship remains a model; he understood well that one must get Marx right before judging whether Marx got it right. As someone who learned a lot from him, I highly recommend this book." - Andrew Kliman, author of Reclaiming Marx’s "Capital": A refutation of the myth of inconsistency and professor of economics at Pace University, USA
