Capitalist State and Its Economy: Democracy in Socialism
ISBN: 9780762311767 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The leading part of this volume focuses on the role of the state in capitalist society, beginning by showing the welfare state as an historical product of the class structure of English agrarian capitalism. The second chapter indicates how, in European colonies such as in Africa, taxation was an important means of forcing indigenous populations to work as wage-laborers or produce cash crops, and relating the process to Marx's 'primitive accumulation of capital'. The following two chapters move to the contemporary period, the first suggesting that change in the relationship between the...

Contradictions: Finance, Greed, and Labor Unequally Paid
ISBN: 9781781906705 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume analyzes two decisive factors that have become embedded in the world spread of capitalism, a shift toward dominance of the financial sector, now entailing massive greed and calling into question whether the 'rules' of capitalism have been broken, and of global wage differentials so deep that recognition of a labor aristocracy cannot be avoided. These chapters are supplemented by two additional showing that gold still regulates the dollar's value, and that unpaid reproductive labor of women adversely affects labor productivity. Analysis of finance engenders discussion of its place...

Sraffa and Althusser Reconsidered: Neoliberalism Advancing in South Africa, England, and Greece

The volume begins with a very extensive study of the archives of Piero Sraffa, which suggests the importance of Marx's influence on his work. The following chapters address the recent multifaceted advance of neoliberalism, with a focus on three current instances. Firstly, suggesting uneven development as in Rosa Luxemburg. South African multi-billion dollar investments in two fossil-fuel projects have recently cemented debtor relations to the World Bank and the Chinese Development Bank, while generating activist opposition in this era...

The Hidden History of 9-11-2001
ISBN: 9780762313051 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This important volume brings together rigorous scholarship on the events of 9-11-2001, and assesses whether the truth has been told by the U.S. government. The lead chapter shows that eleven of FBI-named Arabic hijackers could not have been on the planes, while the Dulles airport videotape -- essentially being the case that hijackers boarded flights -- has very serious authentication problems. The next three chapters examine insider trading beforehand and the 9-11 flights themselves, then the evidence -- based partly upon newly-released reports of more than 500 firefighters -- permitting a...

Key Elements of Social Theory Revolutionized by Marx
ISBN: 9789004432697 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Marx's oeuvre is vast but there are key elements of his ever evolving, class-based contribution to social theory. Declining usefulness for him of Hegelian philosophy and his deepening confrontation with Ricardian political economy were expressions. While the French edition of Capital is closest to Marx’s mature thought, Engels did not understand how work on Russia related to Marx’s evolution, and Engels distorted the outcome. Accumulation of capital is particularly difficult conceptually, including use of ‘primitive accumulation’, and is carefully addressed, as is composition of...

The Urban Housing Crisis: Social, Economic, and Legal Issues and Proposals
ISBN: 9780313266911 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Zarembka's one-volume analysis and synthesis of four major aspects of the current housing crisis (financing/affordability, inadequate supply of lower-priced housing, discrimination, and displacement) provides, for each of the areas discussed, historical background, a review of alternative methods of problem resolution, and concrete proposals for new housing policies. Few, if any, books in the field investigate all four topics in such detail. Drawing on her legal training and experience, Zarembka also summarizes and interprets key legal concepts and court decisions that are relevant to the...

Neoliberalism in Crisis, Accumulation, and Rosa Luxemburg's Legacy
ISBN: 9780762310982 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume of Research in Political Economy sets out to explore three key themes pertinent to the critique of political economy: (1) the disciplinary role of capital under neoliberalism, (2) accumulation and finance, and (3) the life and theories of Rosa Luxemburg. While the sections focus on different aspects of political economy, taken as a whole, they complement each other in striking a balance between concrete and abstract Marxist analyses. The essays in the first section critically examines the more concrete aspects of political economy, such as the changing role of the World Bank...

Value, Capitalist Dynamics and Money
ISBN: 9780762306961 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This volume begins with an introduction to Marx's theory of capitalism in his own words, with his examples modernized from use of shillings and pence as subdivisions of the Pound. Well-known 1901 work on the theory of crises in capitalism by Michael Tugan-Baranowsky is translated into English for the first time, with a Preface placing it in context. The political activism and theoretical work of Henryk Grossman through 1926 is summarized in some detail, and a rarely-known brief article of his from 1919 included. Ambiguity in Marx's definition of accumulation of capital and the differing...

Theoretical Engagements in Geopolitical Economy
ISBN: 9781785602955 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This work advances geopolitical economy as a new approach to understanding the evolution of the capitalist world order and its 21st century form of multipolarity. Neither can be explained by recently dominant approaches such as 'U.S. hegemony' or 'globalization': they treat the world economy as a seamless whole in which either no state matters or only one does. Today's 'BRICs' and 'emerging economies' are only the latest instances of state-led or combined development. Such development has a long history of repeatedly challenging the unevenness of capitalism and the international division of...

Revitalizing Marxist Theory for Today's Capitalism
ISBN: 9781780522548 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As a few alert mainstream and corporate economists rediscover the certain elements of Marx's analysis of capitalism, the essays in the first part of this volume demonstrate that they have far to go. To their discredit, mainstream understandings whether of capitalism's growth or of Western capitalism's interrelated long-term stagnation and financialization are derailed precisely by political aversion to, or ignorance of, Marxist categories and analyses. The chapters in the second part extend Marxist insights into assessing the value of the so-called information, or knowledge-based,...

Class History and Class Practices in the Periphery of Capitalism
ISBN: 9781789735925 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Only after World War II did scholars move to theorize the distinction between the core countries at the center of capitalism and peripheral countries, often with an added distinction to include the semi-peripheral. Immanuel Wallerstein's World Systems approach has been particularly important and led the term periphery into common scholarly parlance. Not surprisingly, much work remains to be done to untangle the extreme diversity and complexity of the political economies and resistances against the multidimensional cruelties perpetrated in the world’s many, very different peripheral...

Risking Capitalism
ISBN: 9781786352361 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The growing centrality of risk management in pro-market governance raises important questions regarding how risks are produced, and why? Who and what is included in, and excluded from, risk management, and why? And, what is the relationship between the rise of risk management and neoliberalism? Drawing on various political economy approaches, this volume addresses these questions by examining - both analytically and empirically - diverse meanings and practices of risk management across a range of scales and themes ranging from austerity to climate change to housing and debt. The authors...
