Regaining Marxism

Klappentext This book responds to recent events by proposing a radical reshaping of Marxist theory. Taking the core problem as that of the historical subject, it conceptualises human life in terms of four interrelated practices. It explores these in turn in the context of a capitalism divided into 'centre' and 'periphery', primarily through nine 'theoretical reconstructions', which attempt to meet such problems as the labour theory of value, the nature and role of the state, and consciousness. Zusammenfassung It explores these in turn in the context of a capitalism divided into 'centre' and 'periphery'! primarily through nine 'theoretical reconstructions'! which attempt to meet such problems as the labour theory of value! the nature and role of the state! and consciousness.
