Marx's 'Capital' (Routledge Revivals)
Author : Geoffrey Pilling
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 343 pages

Book Description
Marx’s Capital has of course been widely read; this revival of a systematic study by Geoffrey Pilling, originally published in 1980, argues powerfully that, in order to understand Capital fully, it is necessary to have read and understood Hegel’s Logic. This argument leads to a detailed examination of the opening chapters of Capital, and a re-examination of their significance for the work as a whole. Pilling emphasizes the fundamental nature of the break between Marx’s Capital and all forms of classical political economy, and stresses the revolutionary nature of Marx’s critique of political economy as one of the foundations of Capital. He also lays particular emphasis on the philosophical aspects of the work, so often neglected by British commentators, and puts forward the view that Marx’s notion of fetishism, often looked upon as incidental to his work, is in fact central to his entire critique of political economy.
Marx and the End of Orientalism (Routledge Revivals)
Author : Bryan S. Turner
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 98 pages
File Size : 43,19 MB
Release : 2014-07-11
Category : Social Science
ISBN : 1317646401
Book Description
First published in 1978, this title analyses a range of problems that arise in the study of North Africa and the Middle East, bridging the gap between studies of Sociology, Islam, and Marxism. Both Sociology and the study of Islam draw on an Orientalist tradition founded on an idealist epistemology, ethnocentric values and an evolutionary view of historical development. Bryan Turner challenges the basic assumptions of Orientalism by considering such issues as the social structure of Islamic society, the impact of capitalism in the Middle East, the effect of Israel on territories, revolutions, social classes and nationalism. A detailed and fascinating study, Marx and the End of Orientalism will be of particular interest to students studying the sociology of colonialism and development, Marxist sociology and sociological theory.
Marxism (Routledge Revivals)
Author : Thomas Sowell
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 0 pages
File Size : 19,5 MB
Release : 2012-10-22
Category : Marxian economics
ISBN : 9780415688031
Book Description
First published in 1985, Thomas Sowelle(tm)s book is a crisp, lucid and commonsensical introduction to Marxe(tm)s own writings and to Marxist theory. It combines readability with intellectual rigour and distils more than a quarter of a century of Thomas Sowelle(tm)s research and thought on the philosophical and economic doctrines of Karl Marx. Its central theme is that Marxian philosophy must be understood before Marxian economics can be defined. The book discusses Marxe(tm)s ideas, including his philosophy of history, concept of capitalist "exploitation", morality and business cycle theory. The authore(tm)s treatment is balanced, though often critical and displays a mastery of Marxe(tm)s own writings which are liberally extracted throughout the text.
Dialectical Phenomenolgy (Routledge Revivals)
Author : Roslyn Bologh
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 460 pages
File Size : 49,45 MB

Category : Social Science
ISBN : 1135162972
Book Description
In this inquiry into Marx’s method of theorising, originally published in 1979, Roslyn Bologh analyses theory in the same way that Marx analyses the production of capital, and provides a set of rules for reproducing Marx’s method. The rules are developed through an examination of the Grundrisse, a text by Marx that combines his technical critique of political economy with his humanistic, philosophical concerns and his historical perspective. Dr Bologh concludes that Marx’s method, as dialectical phenomenology, offers a way of analysing language, knowledge and the social relations and practices of everyday life, as well as the more obvious phenomena of capitalism.

Routledge Revivals: Pre-Capitalist Modes of Production (1975)
Author : Paul Q. Hirst
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 282 pages
File Size : 47,47 MB
Release : 2017-11-22
Category : Business & Economics
ISBN : 1351358588
Book Description
First published in 1975, this book investigates the various pre-capitalist modes of production briefly indicated in the works of Marx and Engels, and gives an examination of the conditions of the transition from one mode of production to another. The fundamental concepts used in these investigations, including those of mode of production, of necessary labour and surpass labour, of politics and state, are derived from Capital and from other works of Marxist theory. The primary aim of the analysis is to raise the conceptualisation of pre-capitalist modes of production and of transition to a more rigorous level. This book will appear controversial to both Marxists and non-Marxists alike.
Theories of Modern Capitalism (Routledge Revivals)
Author : Tom Bottomore
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 173 pages
File Size : 22,2 MB
Release : 2010-01-22
Category : Political Science
ISBN : 1136971211
Book Description
First published in 1985, Theories of Modern Capitalism provides a succinct study of Marxist and non-Marxist theories of Capitalism, its recent development, and the prospects of a transition to socialism. The study begins with a critical examination and comparison of four major theories of capitalism, in the works of Marx, Weber, Schumpeter and Hayek. This is followed by an analysis of the most recent phase of capitalism which has been conceptualised by Marxists thinkers in various ways as 'organised capitalism'', 'state monopoly', or 'late capitalism'. Finally, Bottomore considers the question of a 'transition to socialism' in the diverse interpretations which have been offered by Marxists on one side, and by Weber, Schumpeter and Hayek on the other. Theories of Modern Capitalism will be valuable in a wide range of courses in social and political theory, and will also have an appeal to a broader readership concerned with issues of social and economic policy.
The Value Dimension (Routledge Revivals)
Author : Ben Fine
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 373 pages
File Size : 35,38 MB
Release : 2013-05-02
Category : Business & Economics
ISBN : 1135040397
Book Description
The essays in this edited collection, first published in 1986, focus on important debates surrounding the central Marxian problem of the transformation of values into prices. The collection brings together major contributions on the value theory debate from the decade prior to the book’s publication, and assesses the debate’s significance for wider issues. Value theory emerges as much more than a technical relation between labour time and prices, and the structure of the capitalist economy is scrutinised. This is a relevant and comprehensive work, valuable to students, academics and professionals with an interest in political and Marxist economy.
