General Human Nature and the Labour Theory of Value
Value Relations and Divisions within the Working Class
Underconsumption and the General Crisis
Social Security
In a recent speech, the head of the main government workers union in the United States accused the Reagan administration of "bleeding" the nation in order to finance defense spending and tax breaks for the rich. It is now clear that one cherished national social institution which is scheduled by the Reagan crowd for a major blood-letting is the Social Security System.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent …
The Revenge of the Rentier, or, The Interest Crisis in the United States
The current interest-rate crisis has the look of a real big economic and financial thriller, which we shall call the Revenge of the Rentier. In brief, the Revenge of the Rentier is the new show in town as Keynes's long-time-playing smash hit, the Euthanasia of the Rentier, leaves the boards forever.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of…
Profit Rates and Capital Formation in American Monopoly Capitalism
Marx's Concept of Fetishism
APPEARS TO THE AUTHORS of this essay that Marx's concept of fetishism has been rather widely misunderstood, or at least neglected. Most writers omit the concept entirely in their consideration of the Marxist theory of value, and this can lead to the erroneous identification of value with labor, among other mistakes. We shall argue that the concept of fetishism is central to Marx's methodology and the entire theoretical strategy of Capital. We int…
The Weird World of International Money
There is no end to the stream of new and strange phenomena which provide evidence of the deepening and shifting tensions in the international monetary relations of the capitalist world. The deep inner conflicts and disequilibria are, in our judgment, of crisis proportions. It may seem peculiar to refer to a situation which has been developing for at least ten years, and may very well last ten more, as a crisis. However in the stream of historical…
Stagflation
At the September 5th conference on inflation at the White House, starring 28 of America's top economic gurus from academia and other places outside the government, Paul Samuelson, chief guru of them all, put his prestigious blessing on that ugly new word "stagflation." This is a one-word characterization of the worst of all possible capitalist worlds, a world of inflation plus stagnation. Stagnation, though it is a more ominous sounding word than…
The Skilled Labor Reduction Problem
VERY BIG STUMBLING BLOCK to most people who study early part of Marx's Capital is so-called skilled labor problem, which deals with of skilled labor to a multiple of simple labor, or of average labor, or of unskilled labor. Marx says that ' 'experience shows that this is constantly being made and that reductions are established by 'a social process that goes on behind backs of producers, and, consequently, appears to be fixed by custom.1 As to wh…
The Crisis of Inflation
We have been planning for sometime to devote a Review of the Month to an analysis of inflation, a subject which is at once omnipresent, increasingly painful, and little understood. While we were in the process of discussing the most useful angle of approach and lines of argument, we received from our friend Jacob Moms an article on precisely this subject. It says what we think, and does it so well that we decided to present it in this space, addi…
Some Comments on Marx's Value Theory
The Monetary Crisis of World Capitalism
The formal suspension by the Nixon administration of gold convertibility of dollar balances owned by foreign central banks confirms the demise of the international monetary system of the capitalist world—a system which was set up in 1944 at the Bretton Woods conference. This system has been a long time dying. Nevertheless, the obituary notice came as a big shock because it was accompanied by the sudden appearance of a new phenomenon—the floating …

Marx as a Monetary Theorist
Spurious Capital and the Rate of Profit
Commodity Fetishism and the Value Concept
The Balance of Payments Crisis
The recurring balance of payment crises of the United States and Britain are symptoms of a crisis of the international capitalist monetary system. They are also symptoms of a crisis of American hegemony over that system. Since this monetary hegemony is a bulwark of United States imperialist domination of world capitalism, the balance of payment crises are signs of strain and weakness in the structure of United States imperialism.This article can …
