A Japanese Approach to Stages of Capitalist Development
Eco-Socialism For Now and the Future
Buy now, pay later
In this article, I analyze theoretically Marx’s commodity-form in connection with the latest phase of capitalism, which I refer to as the “phase of consumerism.” I will use an approximation to Kozo Uno’s and Tom Sekine’s three levels of analysis, but will oppose their three phases of capitalism (mercantilism, liberalism, and imperialism) with a fourth—the phase of consumerism—which developed primarily in the United States after World War II and r…
Varieties of Alternative Economic Systems
Political Economy and Childcare
Based on the work of Japanese political economists Kozo Uno and Thomas Sekine, this essay develops a levels-of-analysis approach to better deal with the fundamental tensions between abstract theory and concrete history. The aim is not only to develop mediations between abstract and concrete but also to open up Marxian political economy to better interact with feminist theory. The essay illustrates this possibility by using a three-level framework…
Ps
In 2011, PS: Political Science and Politics published articles covering a vast range of topics. The journal's commitment to publishing articles on pedagogy and the profession, as well as exemplary topical scholarship on a spectrum of issues, call for an equally broad stable of reviewers. PS cannot publish such diverse work without the outstanding work (and openmindedness) of our peer reviewers. The peer-review process relies on the professionalis…

Clarifying the Root Differences
Given the persistent and egregious misinterpretations of my positions by Zmolek, I find it necessary to present a brief primer on what my position is. I claim that Zmolek largely manufactures differences making it appear that our disagreements are far greater that they actually are. It is my aim to clear away Zmolek's bogus criticisms and briefly indicate our root differences, which have to do with theoretical methodology. Notes Robert Albritton,…

A Response to Chris Arthur
Debate - Theory and History in Thinking the Transition to Capitalism
Zmolek's condensed summary of the development of 'agrarian capitalism' is good as far as it goes, but it needs to be supplemented with how this development interacted with manufacturing, with the development of money, with the kinds and degrees of commodification of labour-power and land, with various kinds of commodity markets both internal and external, with the kinds and degrees of productivity increase in various sector, and finally with the …
Capitalism in the Future Perfect Tense
Every day capitalists speculate on all kinds of ‘futures’, often referred to as ‘derivatives’, suggesting the possibility of gambling on almost any kind of future as long as through an operation of derivation an underlying asset can be given a commodity form and a price. 1 As Barings Bank discovered, these new financial products can sometimes be costly. Which only goes to show that predicting the value of a particular currency on a particular fut…
Phases of Capitalist Development
In this collection authors from eight different countries, representing a wide variety of academic disciplines and theoretical perspectives, investigate the differing phases of capitalist development
Agrarian capitalism
While Brenner's theory of 'agrarian capitalism' with its emphasis on class struggle provides the best starting point for understanding the transition from feudalism to capitalism, the theory is not without flaws. The flaws mostly stem from the lack of a determinant theory of precisely what capitalism is in its inner most logic. Marx's Capital as reconstructed by Sekine [1997] provides such a theory, and if we are clear that the theory of capital'…
Dialectics and Deconstruction in Political Economy
Robert Albritton offers the most authoritative reassessment of Marxist political economy since Althusser. Original reinterpretations of thinkers including Hegel, Weber, Althusser, Derrida and Adorno cast new light on heated battles between Hegelian dialectics and deconstructivist criticism. The book makes accessible the sometimes daunting thought associated with both dialectics and deconstruction drawing upon insights from philosophy, sociology, …

According to the third principle, I understand that historical analysis as a level of marxian political economy is only one point of view among others. It views modem history from the point of view of capitalism’s impact on it; whereas modem history could also …

Did agrarian capitalism exist
Lack of clarity about key concepts of Marxian political economy and a penchant to apply such concepts too directly to history seriously weakens Brenner's analysis of 'agrarian capitalism'. It is argued that even as late as 1700 English agriculture is not capitalist to any appreciable extent, when one considers that the corn-modification of labour power is crucial to considering agriculture to be capitalist, and when one closely examines the actua…

The dialectic of capital
This paper suggests that European Marxists should take account of the contributions of Japanese economists, Uno and Sekine. Their restatement of the Law of Value, which rests on explicit recognition of three levels of analysis, is described, and is shown to allow new insights on the transformation problem and the generation of crises

Stages of Capitalist Development
Given the theoretical importance of periodizing capitalist history, it is surprising that Western Marxists have not devoted more attention to the matter. Many periodizations are presented, but few are sufficiently developed or defended. We find almost as many ways of dividing up capitalist history as there are theorists

Cet article étudie les rapports entre la façon dont Hobbes établit l'agencement des connaissances et la façon dont il établit l'agencement du pouvoir dans le Leviathan. Il s'intéresse particulièrement à sa théorie du langage et à ses efforts pour atteindre à l'objectivitié à l'aide de la formalisation mathématique, laquelle requiert que soient bannies du raisonnement scientifique toutes les manifestations du discours poétique. A partir de ces pré…
