Book Review: Marixism without Marx: Recent Interpretations of the Economic Crisis
Roth, Gary
http://insurgentnotes.com/2012/06/book-review-marxism-without-marx-recent-interpretations-of-the-economic-crisis/Date Written: 2012-06-03 Publisher: Insurgent Notes Year Published: 2012 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX14252 Paul Mattick’s, Business As Usual, and David McNally’s, Global Slump, each focuses on a single, primary aspect of Marx’s theory as a means to explain the current crisis. For Mattick, the point of entry into the economy is money; for McNally, it is competition. This propels them in very different directions, largely a function of how close to Marx they remain. Mattick’s book takes the form of an extended essay that warrants close reading. McNally’s lengthier treatment is both breezier and polemical. Subject Headings |
