Socialisation vs the Market: The Peculiarities of Russian Capitalism
The author shows the changes that the system of commodity relations is undergoing in the early 21st century. These changes are seeing the market take on an all-encompassing character, and we are witnessing a comprehensive manipulation of market actors by corporate capital. The present-day market is limited and undermined not only by state regulation but also by a process of socialisation, which represents the totality of transitional relationship…
Twenty-first-century capital: Critical post-Soviet Marxist reflections
The starting-point for the book is its chapter on methodology. Found here are not only critiques of conventional Soviet Marxism-Leninism and post-modernism, but also a new rethinking of the classic dialectic. For the most part, however, the book focuses on revealing the new quality now assumed by commodities, money, and capital within the global economy. The market has become not only global, but a totalitarian force that is not a 'socially neutr…

Critical political economy: The ‘market-centric’ model of economic theory must remain in the past—notes of the Post-Soviet School of Critical Marxism
(Translated by Renfrey Clarke) It is argued that a critical redefinition both of classical political economy and of the Marxist approach is required to understand the economy of the twenty-first century. There is also a need to respond to (neo)positivist and post-modernist approaches. The paper offers a critique of the ‘market-centric’ model of economic theory and articulates a theory about the nature of post-market economic relations. It is hypo…
Russia: A New Imperialist Power
The authors employ modern Marxist methodology and theory to analyse imperialism and so-called “empires,” making it possible to reveal the mechanisms through which the capital and states of the countries that make up the “centre” ensure the economic, political and ideological manipulation of the “periphery.” On this basis, it is shown that the capital and state machines of the countries of the semi-periphery in general, and of Russia in particular…
The Anatomy of Twenty-First Century Exploitation: From Traditional Extraction of Surplus Value to Exploitation of Creative Activity
The modern system of exploitation presupposes integration of four historico-logical “layers” of the exploitation of labor by capital: 1) the “classical” system of hired labor and appropriation by capital of surplus value; 2) appropriation of monopoly (super) profits and financial profits; 3) partial social redistribution of a part of surplus value, and “diffusion” of capital; and 4) relations of exploitation that pertain to creative activity and …
Re-actualising Marxism in Russia: The dialectic of transformations and social creativity
This article analyses the differentia specifica (specific difference) of the Post-Soviet School of Critical Marxism in the areas of the methodology and philosophy of history and of the socio-political process. Among the main characteristics of the school, the authors stress the importance assigned to the ‘new’ dialectic of the ‘sunset’, genesis and transformation of socio-economic systems. Typical of this process are (1) non-linear evolution (or …

Russia: The Rout of the Neo-Liberals
For most analysts, including the authors of this brief study, the Russian parliamentary elections of December 1995 brought few surprises. The success of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (kprf), headed by Gennady Zyuganov, was expected. Analysts had also anticipated that the left-wing—more precisely, social-chauvinist—centre would
