Date Written: 2013-09-01Publisher: Haymarket Books, Chicago, USA Year Published: 2013 Pages: 272pp ISBN: 9781608462759 Library of Congress Number: HB501.H7835 2012 Dewey: 335.4/12 Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX16276 In contrast to the traditional view that Marx's work is restricted to a critique of capitalism – and that he consciously avoided any detailed conception of its alternative – this work shows that Marx was committed to a specific concept of a post-capitalist society which informed the whole of his approach to political economy.
