Prose Style and Politics
In 1860 Marx suspended work on Capital and spent months preparing material which was published in a polemical book called Herr Vogt . Part 1 of this article considers this text as a vivid testimony (a) to the political objectives of his work on capitalism in the 1860s, and (b) to the cultural skills and passions of the tradition of radical humanism which Marx assimilated in his early years and later refashioned to meet the needs of a working-clas…
Marx after Minsky
Minsky’s theory of financial instability helps clarify how Marxist theory can explain the highly financialised capitalism of today, and the crisis which started in 2008. The advanced economies currently have high realised profits in the productive sector and lagging rates of investment. Shareholder pressures encourage corporate strategies which focus on stock-market ratings and M&A operations, less on productive investment. Tax evasion and the bu…
The Logical Construction of Value-Theory
Fine and Saad-Filho are wrong to insist that an abstract category of production should be the starting point of Marxist value-theory in logical, temporal and causal terms. Marx, in Capital, begins with a repertoire of simpler categories and slowly constructs the complex category of capitalist production. It is vital that exploitation should be seen as one phase (however crucial) of a process of capital-in-motion, and due weight given to money, co…
Production versus Capital in Motion
A further critique of Fine and Saad-Filho's reading of Marxist political economy: (a) it neglects the monetary dimension of Marx's analysis; (b) it focuses too much on production, and on the organic composition of capital, treated in isolation from the overall circuit of capital. An alternative theorisation is proposed, stressing what will now be called emergence patterns in Marx's value theory (his term was laws of tendency), and giving due weig…
Production vs. Realisation
This article assess two important recent books on Marx's political economy and argues that, despite many virtues, there are some crucial limitations in their approach to Marx's political economy. Ben Fine's and Alfredo Saad-Filho's Marx's 'Capital' and The Value of Marx by Saad-Filho place too much explanatory weight on the composition of capital, giving too little attention to Marx's analysis of money, and to the processes of circulation and rea…

Marxist Political Economy and the Crises in Japan and East Asia
Japan has now entered the twelfth year of a crisis of near zero growth. Its banking system is threatened with collapse because, on an increasing scale, businesses do not have profits large enough to service their bank loans. In the 1990s, immense sums of money have been spent by Japanese governments on ineffective efforts to rekindle growth in the economy. Unemployment is high and investment falling. The burden of state debt is already higher tha…
