The Marxian Concept of Capital and the Soviet Experience: Essay in the Critique of Political Economy
by Paresh Chattopadhyay, Rodney Green. 194 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

This work establishes the uniqueness of the Marxian category of Capital on the basis of the original texts by Marx. The study has been neglected in the existing literature. The wage-labor relationship is shown to be necessary and sufficient for the existence of capital(ism). Individual ownership is shown to be a particular form of capitalist private property which can also take the form of collective ownership. The author argues the capitalist character of the Soviet economy.

Reduction, Rationality & Game Theory in Marxism
by Bruce Philp. 142 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

This book examines the main areas of interest in Marxian economics, paying particular attention to class conflict, analytical Marxism and game theory. Very few books can claim to cover the areas that this book does with such clarity, academic rigour and originality. Its study of game theory and Marxism makes it a particularly unique book that will interest a wider variety of economists and social scientists than would normally be the case.
