Key Elements of Social Theory Revolutionized by Marx
Marx's oeuvre is vast but there are "key elements". With declining usefulness of Hegelian philosophy [Chp. 1], very significant was deepening confrontation with Ricardo and Marx's introduction of the "labor power" concept [Chp. 2]. The book then presents Marx's intended 3rd German edition of CAPITAL, VOLUME I, as it stood in 1882, arguing it should be the standard [Chps. 3, 4 and 5]. Accumulation of capital is difficult conceptually and carefully…
Class History and Class Practices in the Periphery of Capitalism
This volume advances our understanding of class histories and practices in societies outside the core capitalist countries, and it deepens our knowledge of resistances in this periphery through site-specific class analyses. It also features an an out-of-the-archive translation of Karl Katusky's theory of crises.

Contradictions: Finance, Greed, and Labor Unequally Paid
This volume analyzes two decisive factors that have become embedded in the world spread of capitalism, a shift toward dominance of the financial sector, now entailing massive greed and calling into question whether the rules of capitalism have been broken, and of global wage differentials so deep that recognition of a labor aristocracy cannot be avoided. These chapters are supplemented by two additional showing that gold still regulates the dolla…

Rosa Luxemburg's accumulation of capital
No Marxist has written more about “accumulation of capital” theoretically than Rosa Luxemburg and the problems she analyzed have been almost always swept under the bed. With two major issues at stake, criticism of Marx's Capital within Marxism and the character of the dynamics of capitalism, the paper first reviews her 450-page The Accumulation of Capital. It then analyzes her post-humous critics, including Bukharin and Grossmann, council communi…
Accumulation of capital, its definition: A century after Lenin and Luxemburg
This chapter argues that Marx's definition of “accumulation of capital” is sufficiently ambiguous to lead to troublesome conceptions after his death. It is held that Lenin moved conceptualization in a misleading direction by moving accumulation of capital away from social relations of production. Luxemburg's criticism of Marx's schemes of extended reproduction, on the other hand, is very helpful in moving back towards an emphasis on class relatio…
Lenin as Economist of Production: A Ricardian Step Backwards
Lenin presents his economics as the embodiment of Marxist theory. Yet, his economic writings contain considerable shortcomings; indeed, the pattern of these shortcomings suggests that Lenin was an economist of production, in the sense used by Marx in describing Ricardo. Ricardo's conception, according to Marx, is “in the interests of the industrial bourgeoisie, only because, and in so far as, their interests coincide with that of production or th…
Marx's Capital and Capitalism; Markets in a Socialist Alternative
The political economist N. Sieber wrote a book in 1871 in part summarizing Marx's value theory compared to Ricardo's, and Marx himself favourably commented on the interpretation. Here, Sieber's Russian text on Marx is translated, joined with an introductory preface by James D. White and an article by David Smith on Sieber's understanding of value theory. Alfredo Saad-Filho develops implications of introducing a more refined discussion of the comp…

The Declining Importance of Hegel for Marx: James D. White's Provocative Work
Founded in 1683 in Leiden, the Netherlands, Brill is a leading international academic publisher in the Humanities, Social Sciences, International Law, and Biology.

Value, Capitalist Dynamics and Money
This volume begins with an introduction to Marx's theory of capitalism in his own words, with his examples modernized from use of shillings and pence as subdivisions of the Pound. Well-known 1901 work on the theory of crises in capitalism by Michael Tugan-Baranowsky is translated into English for the first time, with a Preface placing it in context. The political activism and theoretical work of Henryk Grossman through 1926 is summarized in some …
Poland: The Deepening Crisis in the Summer of 1992
In the summer of 1992, I spent mid-july to mid-August in Poland, and talked with many persons of varying employments. I knew some of them from prior visits in 1979 and 1985, and most conversations were carried on in Polish, with my Polish-born wife as translator. I am convinced that my impressions are representative of the situation and are generally indicative of Eastern Europe. A colleague who spent three months last spring in Russia commented …
Accumulation and the State in Venezuelan Industrialization
Venezuela is immediately associated with oil. Nevertheless, during the 1960s a relatively important industrialization process was initiated. From a materialist perspective this industrialization must be understood as an accumulation process, that is to say, a process where wage labor is continually absorbed in capitalist production from a reserve army of labor which was created by labor's expulsion from capitalist production itself or by its sepa…

Notes on Testing Symmetry Conditions between Factor Demand Equations
A potentially important econometric test of profit maximization by producers is a test on the implied relationships among coefficients of different factor demand equations; i.e., a test for symmetry between factor demand equations. In this paper such a test procedure is developed and implemented for two lower income economies and implications are drawn for future work. In particular, an economy is disaggregated into the three sectors which are be…
On the Empirical Relevance of the CES Production Function
W ITH the pathbreaking article by Arrow, Al Chenery, Minhas and Solow [1] introducing the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function, interest in production theory has multiplied. No longer is the Cobb-Douglas function the workhorse for neoclassical theory; rather, the role of the production function has been examined anew in the theory of the firm, in growth theory, and in the theory of international trade. This re-examination…
