Neo‐Marxism is a wide‐ranging term referring to the critical renaissance of Marxist theory in the period after World War II. It is most often used to denote work in radical political economy that tried to combine the revolutionary aspirations and orienting concepts of Marxism with some of the tools provided by non‐Marxist economics, especially the work of Keynes. Though the label “neo‐Marxist” is sometimes applied to figures (e.g., members of the Frankfurt School) who combined a fidelity to Marx's critical and political aims with a sense of the limitations of Marxism in the face of phenomena such as fascism or mass culture, it seems to have been first introduced to describe thinkers – for example, Joan Robinson, Paul A. Baran, and Paul M. Sweezy – who sought to renew the critique of political economy in a situation marked by the rise of global corporations, anticolonial struggles for national liberation, and the politics of US imperialism
