Marx e Espinosa
Como expresso claramente em seu título, o artigo discute a relação entre a obra de Marx e a de Espinosa. Em particular, o propósito é demonstrar, mediante uma análise imanente da obra de ambos os autores, mas também por recurso a interpretações diversas e consagradas a respeito dessa possível relação, que as ideias de Espinosa não são inconciliáveis com as de Marx. O primeiro passo para isso é a rejeição de que exista um antagonismo entre as obra…
The Imperialist System is Still With Us
Materialism and Finitude: Terry Eagleton's Marxism
This change coincided with an approach to a Thomist version of the Christian religion that reflected the influence on Eagleton of his friend the Dominican Herbert McCabe and with a profound interest in Jacques Lacan. The article argues that this change did not affect Eagleton’s Marxist faith or imply shunning political action. Rather, the turn concerned the materialist basis of Eagleton’s proposal of a just life. The appeal to existential forces …

How not to talk about Europe
D avid H arvey . Marx, Capital, and the Madness of Economic Reason
In Marx, Capital, and the Madness of Economic Reason, David Harvey takes to task two recent biographers of Marx, Jonathan Sperber and Gareth Stedman Jones, for “forget[ting] that the object of Marx’s study in Capital was capital . . . And capital is still with us, alive and well in some respects while plainly ailing if not spiralling out of control . . . in others” (xiii). As a preeminent contemporary Marxist scholar, Harvey has recently refocuse…
Marx's Unfinished but Magnificent Critique of Political Economy
How Not to Write about the Rate of Profit: A Response to David Harvey
It is hard to think of any living writer who has made a greater contribution to Marxist political economy than David Harvey. We can see this in his attempt to widen Marxist theory to take space properly into account, forming a new “historical–geographical materialism”; in his work The Limits to Capital, one of the most important products of the 1960s and 1970s generation’s engagement with Marx’s Capital; in his influential critical return to the …

Deciphering Capital
Perry Anderson on Europe
This intervention discusses Perry Anderson’s treatment of the European Union in The New Old World , tracing its origins in his intellectual and political history, and the ambivalences it reveals in his relationship to Marxism and to left politics. It identifies some of the key themes in a specifically Marxist analysis of the EU and explores the political possibilities implied by the present crisis
The limits of passive revolution
This article addresses what it identifies as the over-extension of the concept of passive revolution in recent writing on international political economy. It traces the evolution of the concept in the Prison Notebooks, where it is rooted in Antonio Gramsci's development of the Marxist theory of bourgeois revolutions to account for episodes of what he called 'revolution/restoration' such as the Italian Risorgimento. But, in his attempt to offer a …
How to solve the many-state problem: A reply to the debate
This article responds to the debate provoked by the author's ‘Does capitalism need the state system?’ (Cambridge Review of International Affairs, 20:4 2007, 533–549) and his exchanges with Justin Rosenberg (Cambridge Review of International Affairs, 21:1 2008, 77–112). It is divided into three parts. The first restates the issues, situating them in the context of a growing Marxist preoccupation with the international in recent years, and contrast…
The New Blackwell Companion to Social Theory – By Turner, B.S
Marxists, Muslims and Religion: Anglo-French Attitudes
The article addresses the divergent responses of the radical Left in Britain and France to the emergence of Muslims as a political subject in the advanced capitalist countries. It takes the case of a recent book by Daniel Bensaïd to illustrate the influence of a secular republican ideology that acts as an obstacle to French Marxists' recognition that assertions of Muslim identity should not simply be dismissed as reactionary but understood as pot…

Exploring Marx's Capital: Philosophical, Economic and Political Dimensions
This volume, originally published in French under the title Que faire du Capital?, offers a new interpretation of Marx's great work. It shows how the novelty and lasting interest of Marx's theory arises from the fact that, as against the project of a 'pure' economics, it is formulated in concepts that have simultaneously an economic and a political aspect, neither of these being separable from the other. Jacques Bidet conducts an unprecedented in…
Does capitalism need the state system
Contemporary Marxist students of international relations, like their mainstream counterparts, disagree over whether geopolitics has a future. Many believe that it has none, either because globalized capitalism has overcome the nation-state or because the ‘informal empire’ of the United States has overridden inter-state conflict. This article supports those who argue that significant economic and political conflicts persist among the main capitali…

Capital Accumulation and the State System: Assessing David Harvey's The New Imperialism
Confronting a World without Justice: Brian Barry’s Why Social Justice Matters
Brian Barry presents his latest book Why Social Justice Matters as a move away from political philosophy. He makes a detailed case for policies that would, by imposing controls on currently unfettered market capitalism, promote a return to post‐war social democracy. But his argument is both more philosophically developed and more politically radical than he suggests. Indeed the egalitarian and environmentally friendly measures Barry proposes pres…
G. A. Cohen and the Critique of Political Economy
G. A. Cohen's Karl Marx's Theory of History (KMTH) bears examination from the standpoint of the renewed critique of capitalism promoted by the anti-globalization movement. Cohen's own current view of his book places it firmly within the framework of rational-choice Marxism, which is characterized by a nihilist attitude towards the entire tradition of Marxist political economy. KMTH itself displays an ambivalent attitude towards Capital , simultan…

The Actuality of Imperialism
Hardt and Negri's Empire is to welcomed for, among other things, introducing a distinctive Marxist voice into the debate about globalisation, but it is seriously weakened by its claim that interstate conflict is being supplanted by the impersonal, decentred network of Empire. Tarak Barkawi and Mark Laffey in `Retrieving the Imperial' rightly criticise the apologetic tendencies in Hardt and Negri's analysis, though they argue that International Re…

The Boom and the Bubble: The US in the World Economy
Most intellectuals would be pleased to have one major debate named after them. The Marxist economic historian Robert Brenner has managed the remarkable feat of unleashing two significant intellectual controversies. The first, in the historical journal Past & Present during the late 1970s and early 1980s, was provoked by his interpretation of the transition from feudalism to capitalism in early modern Europe. More recently, however, Brenner has sw…

Epoch and Conjuncture in Marxist Political Economy
Sympathy for the devil? John Holloway's Mephistophelian Marxism
John Holloway's Change the World Without Taking Power stands alongside Hardt and Negri's Empire as one of the two key texts of contemporary autonomist Marxism. This does not mean that the two books represent identical positions. Holloway makes much more of an effort to make his ideas accessible than Hardt and Negri do (although not wholly successfully). There are also important substantive differences: Holloway offers a cogent critique of Empire …

Iraq: Fulcrum of world politics
The Anglo-American invasion and occupation of Iraq must be understood in the context of the grand strategy consistently pursued by the US since at least the beginning of the 20th century. The Bush administration, breaking from Washington's reliance since the Second World War on coalition building, is seeking to use one of the main comparative advantages of the US—its military supremacy—to perpetuate a favourable global balance of forces. The seiz…
