Changing the Subject
In this rejoinder, I respond to four essays on my book, Development and Globalization: A Marxian Class Analysis, by focusing on the following main themes: the contingency of theory, reading for class, subjectivity, and conjunctural analysis
Chance Encounters
This essay focuses on two aspects of the author’s encounters with Stephen Resnick over the years: his teaching and his writings. It explains why he was such a successful teacher and how he developed such an original research project in rethinking the Marxian critique of political economy
Contending Economic Theories
This essay summarizes the major features and original contributions of Contending Economic Theories, by Richard Wolff and Stephen Resnick. It also analyzes the book's history and reveals how the author uses the book in his own approach to teaching economics

Remarx
In this rejoinder, we respond to Vasilis Grollios's critical engagement with our essay “Rethinking Socialism: Community, Democracy, and Social Agency.” We defend the idea that rethinking the problem of subjectification is consistent with materialism and necessary for a Marxian politics of transition from capitalism
An Irrationally Exuberant Decade of Postmodern Moments
In our response to Suzanne Bergeron, Serap Kayatekin, Deirdre McCloskey, and Evan Watkins, we recognize their appreciation of our uncovering and interpreting “postmodern moments” in modern economics. These moments—for example, the decentered body in late neoclassical economics—bring forth concepts that are at odds with the modernist conception of rational economic subjects. The commentators agree with our interest in pluralizing and democratizing…

Envisioning Real Utopias, Erik Olin Wright, London
In this review, I argue that Erik Olin Wright’s Envisioning Real Utopias is necessary reading for anyone interested in thinking through the possibilities of creating noncapitalist ways of organising economic and social life in the world today. However, I also raise questions about Wright’s deterministic interpretation of Marx’s critique of political economy, his relative neglect of class-analysis, and his non-Gramscian conception of the relations…
Cooperatives, Surplus, and the Social
In this essay, I argue that communism involves eliminating capitalist exploitation and changing both the appropriation and distribution of the surplus. Cooperatives (and other forms of communal production) are an important step, but only one step, in this process. We do cooperatives a disservice by placing too large a burden on them. I want to thank Maliha Safri, for organizing the session and providing valuable comments and suggestions on an ear…
Rethinking Socialism
In this essay, we show how Marxian theory can contribute to the ongoing rethinking of the concepts of “community” and “democracy,” especially in relation to the question of “social agency.” Our discussion is organized around a particular reading of Marx's concept of commodity fetishism and broadens the notions of “the social” and of “the economy” beyond the unidimensional concepts that have undergirded much of orthodox thinking, transforming them…
Introduction to “Under the Dome
Each generation discovers, and produces, its own reading of Marx's Capital. In my introduction to the symposium “Under the Dome: The Ethics and Politics of Reading Capital,” I explain how a group of students at the University of Notre Dame organized a reading group on Capital and then wrote essays on what new ideas they found, in relation to their ongoing research projects

Economic Representations
Diverse representations of the economy exist in both academic and nonacademic, everyday contexts. I show how investigating these representations challenges existing conceptions of both the discipline of economics and "real" economic relations and institutions – such that they can be denaturalized, and new ones can be produced.

Unfinished Business
Reading Joseph Buttigieg's edition of Gramsci's Prison Notebooks represents for me and, I imagine, for others, the discovery of a new Gramsci—at each turn of the page, either stumbling upon themes and concerns of which we had been largely unaware or encountering familiar concepts in an entirely different context. Gramsci pushes Marxian theory forward, and the text of the Notebooks allows us to do the same with Gramsci's work. But for all their ri…
Globalização e imperialismo
Inicialmente, devo dizer que é problemática a ubiqüidade do termo globalização, bem como os efeitos de seus significados no pensamento atual. De modo geral, os usos múltiplos e variados do termo sugerem que algo de fundamentalmente novo está ocorrendo no mundo, que uma reorganização mais ou menos total da cultura, da política e da economia está acontecendo. Isso é visível tanto na direita e na esquerda, quanto nas análises dominantes e nas visões…

Global fragments
In this paper we critically examine existing discourses of globalization by focusing on the conceptualizations of subjectivity and the possibilities for class politics. Two forms of subjectivity emerge from the radical political economy literature: the ‘national Keynesian’ and the ‘global imperative’. Although the cultural analyses of globalization emphasize a plurality of subjectivities, they operate in a manner similar to that of radical politi…

When failure becomes success
This article criticizes the current debate over stabilization and adjustment and develops an alternative, class-analytic approach. First, the respective theories and policy recommendations of neoclassical and structuralist economist are analyzed. Then, the article considers the recent experiences of Argentina, Brazil, and Peru where orthodox and heterodox policies have been attempted and subsequently declared failures. Finally, it is shown that t…

Class Beyond the Nation-State
Foreign exploitation has been a recurrent theme in radical analyses of centre periphery relations. We suggest a new, class-analytical way to analyse the relations between centre and periphery which involves specifying concepts of class (including the space and time dimensions of class processes) and, especially, foreign exploitation different from those that exist in current radical literature. We also discuss the potential role of this type of c…

State, Class, and Transition in Nicaragua
The centrality of class in analyzing social change is one of the fundamental propositions of Marxian theory. Unfortunately, the revolutionary insights that can be gained from placing class at the center of analysis are often lost, particularly in transitional experiences. The problems of socialist development in Latin America and the Caribbean are rarely, if ever, viewed through the perspective of class. This is especially true when it comes to s…
