  • Revolutions

    Radhika Desai, Henry HellerBOOKRevolutions2021

  • Hegel, Haiti and revolution

    Henry HellerARTICLEThird World Quarterly2020Citada por: 2Referências: 25

    Susan Buck-Morss’s argument that the Haitian Revolution embodied the most universal aspect of the French Revolution, namely the quest for universal freedom, relies on the supposed references to Haiti in the master–slave dialogue in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. The revolution’s lodgement at the core of this foundational text of Enlightenment universalism is, for her, about as convincing a demonstration as one can have of the universal signific…

  • Revolutions

    Rehad Desai, Radhika Desai et al.ARTICLEThird World Quarterly2020Citada por: 1Referências: 16

    We held the ‘Revolutions’ conference in 2017 to commemorate the Russian Revolution and redeem the actual record of revolutions in the Third World for the left. A quarter-century after the demise of the USSR, we found liberal capitalist triumphalism unwarranted. Two of the most important expectations to which it gave rise – that the world had become ‘unipolar’ and that it would enjoy a ‘peace dividend’ – remained unfulfilled. Instead, the world be…

  • Class and Class Struggle

    Henry HellerCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of Karl Marx2018

    This chapter affirms that class and class struggle were fundamental to Marx’s conception of history. His claims are affirmed as it is shown that upper-class demands for surplus and lower-class resistance have driven the evolution of society from the Bronze Age to the present and were critical to the passage from the tributary mode of production to the capitalist mode of production. Class struggle exists in all class-based societies but was partic…

  • A Marxist History of Capitalism

    Henry HellerBOOKMarxist History of Capitalism2018

    Henry Heller’s short account of the history of capitalism combines Marx’s economic and political thought with contemporary scholarship to shed light on the current capitalist crisis. It argues that capitalism is an evolving mode of production that has now outgrown its institutional and political limits. The book provides an overview of the different historical stages of capitalism, underpinned by accessible discussions of its theoretical foundati…

  • From Wallmapu to Nunatsiavut

    Warren Max Bernauer, Warren Bernauer et al.ARTICLEMonthly Review2018Citada por: 1

    Indigenous peoples of the Americas are on the frontlines of resistance to the environmental and social costs of the unthinking drive for capital accumulation. From the United States and Canada to Brazil and Chile, that resistance has been met by state surveillance, repression, and criminalization.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website

  • The Rise of Capitalist Manufacture in the Ancien Régime

    Henry HellerARTICLEHistorical Materialism2017Referências: 6

    Viewing the development of French trade and manufacturing between 1650 and 1820, Jeff Horn underscores their great success based largely on overseas markets. His evidence supports the view of Friedrich Engels and Perry Anderson that capitalism developed within the pores of the Old Regime. Yet Horn attempts to deny the leading role of the bourgeoisie in this advance. He claims that it was through the Old Regime system of economic privileges rather…

  • Capitalism

    Henry HellerARTICLELabour / Le Travail2016

    Reviewed by: Capitalism: A Short History by Jürgen Kocka Henry Heller Jürgen Kocka, Capitalism: A Short History (Princeton: Princeton University Press 2016) Capitalism can only be understood as a system which had a beginning and must have an end. Marxist discussion of the history of capitalism in recent times has been founded on Maurice Dobb’s Studies in the Development of Capitalism (New York: International Publishers, 1946). That work became th…

  • Marx's Capital as History

    Henry HellerARTICLEInternational Critical Thought2014Referências: 1

    David Harvey asserts that Marx's Capital is devoted to a rigorous examination of capitalism as an economic system. According to Harvey, history as such is for the most part absent. The following analysis acknowledges that the economics of capitalism is fundamental to Marx's great work. But in Capital Marx shows that capital's development itself is based on the evolving relationship of capitalists and workers over the long term. Therefore its work…

  • Bankers, Finance Capital and the French Revolutionary Terror (1791–94)

    Henry HellerARTICLEHistorical Materialism2014Citada por: 1Referências: 15

    This article argues that popular revolution was closely tied to the establishment of capitalism. Contrary to the revisionist George V. Taylor’s view that the Revolution had nothing to do with the advance of capitalism because financial and productive capital were divided from one another, this article contends that the Revolution played a critical role in tying them together. Prior to the Revolution financiers began to make limited investments in…

  • Joanna Milstein. The Gondi

    Henry HellerARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    From its beginning to its end, the finances of the ancien régime depended on short-term financing by bankers. It was Italian and especially Florentine bankers who invented this system of credit, which was Gallicized in the seventeenth century and then taken over by Protestant bankers mainly from Geneva in the eighteenth, who eventually joined the Revolution and created the Banque de France. The pioneering role of these Italians in making possible…

  • Paysans et seigneurs en Europe

    Henry HellerARTICLEHistorical Materialism2013Referências: 4

    In this panoramic survey Guy Lemarchand undertakes to outline the history of the feudal system which persisted across the European continent from the sixteenth until the second half of the nineteenth century. In the crisis of the seventeenth century, seigneurial reaction backed by the absolutist state enabled this feudal mode to reconsolidate and extend itself eastward. The eighteenth century represented the system’s apogee based on high food pri…

  • Stephen Miller on Capitalism in the Old Regime

    Henry HellerARTICLEHistorical Materialism2013Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    Stephen Miller attempts to confute the idea that capitalist accumulation characterised the agriculture of the Île-de-France prior to the Revolution. Instead he tries to assimilate the agriculture of the north into the Annales model of neo-Malthusian agricultural cycles and Chayanovian subsistence economy which is supposedly characteristic of the Midi. I argue instead that the notion of a northern capitalist agriculture is rooted not only in the e…

  • Imperialist Canada, Todd Gordon, Winnipeg

    Henry HellerARTICLEHistorical Materialism2012Referências: 4

    In the immediate postwar period, liberal internationalism was the hallmark of Canadian foreign policy. In part this position was intended to protect Canadian sovereignty from the too-close embrace of US Cold-War imperialism. But this multilateral and peacekeeping approach was partly a veneer meant to disguise the fact that Canada was of necessity a close American ally in the fight against communism. This strategy was abandoned by the Canadian sta…

  • The Path Not Taken

    Henry HellerARTICLEHistorical Materialism2012Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    Eschewing a Marxist interpretation of the French Revolution, Jeff Horn’s work is nonetheless interesting in stressing the widespread prevalence of machine-breaking by workers in France as compared to England during industrialisation. Likewise notable is Horn’s argument that the resultant state-intervention forced France onto a path of industrialisation which differed from England’s and which has been underestimated. Breaking with the revisionist …

  • The Birth of Capitalism

    Henry HellerBOOKThe Birth of Capitalism2011

    In the light of the deepening crisis of capitalism and continued non-Western capitalist accumulation, Henry Heller re-examines the debates surrounding the transition from feudalism to capitalism in Europe and elsewhere. Focusing on arguments about the origin, nature and sustainability of capitalism, Heller offers a new reading of the historical evidence and a critical interrogation of the transition debate. He advances the idea that capitalism mu…

  • Response to William Beik and David Parker

    Henry HellerARTICLEHistorical Materialism2010Citada por: 1

    This debate with William Beik and David Parker concerns whether a capitalist bourgeoisie developed in the ancien régime . Parker asserts that, in 1789, this class at best was new and unfledged. Beik claims that it is unhistorical to speak of its existence. Addressing their arguments, I re-iterate that the existence of a capitalist bourgeoisie was of long standing. It emerged from the sixteenth century onwards, buoyed by primitive accumulation and…

  • Marx, the French Revolution, and the Spectre of the Bourgeoisie

    Open AccessHenry HellerARTICLEScience & Society2010Citada por: 1Referências: 7

    Seeking to deny the bourgeois and capitalist nature of the French Revolution, revisionist scholars have argued that the bourgeoisie did not exist as a class-in-itself or for-itself. The existence of the bourgeoisie as a class-in-itself is increasingly confirmed by recent research. The question whether or not a sense of the bourgeoisie as a class-for-itself developed during the Revolution requires a more complicated response. In The Eighteenth Bru…

  • Copernican Ideas in Sixteenth Century France

    Henry HellerARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2009

    The French religious wars were marked by intolerance and fanaticism. At the same time the ability of the established church and state to enforce religious and intellectual conformity was seriously undermined. In this atmosphere of crisis and relative intellectual freedom the old Aristotelian and scholastic certainties were shaken. As a result Copernicus' heliocentric theory became a subject of debate between different schools of thought. Conserva…

  • Atoms, Pneuma and Tranquillity

    Margaret J Osler, Henry HellerARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2009

    This volume examines the influence that Epicureanism and Stoicism, two philosophies of nature and human nature articulated during classical times, exerted on the development of European thought to the Enlightenment. Although the influence of these philosophies has often been noted in certain areas, such as the influence of Stoicism on the development of Christian thought and the influence of Epicureanism on modern materialism, the chapters in thi…

    Malgré ce que son titre peut laisser croire, ce livre ne se veut pas une histoire des guerres de religion en France.Henry Heller tente plutôt d'expliquer pourquoi ces guerres civiles ont éclaté et cherche ceux qui en ont le plus profité.Poursuivant une argumentation commencée dans son livre précédent, The Conquest of Poverty: The Calvinist Revolt in Sixteenth Century France (Leiden, 1986), Heller suggère que les guerres de religion ont été provoq…
