Radical political economy : a critique

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "With the rise of the New Right, the denise of state socialism and the development of concerns over the nature of modernity, the reception of Marxist and radical theories of capitalist society has become, to say the least, sceptical. In this book Andrew Sayer rethinks and reformulates radical political economy. The author argues that Marxist theories of capitalism must learn both from the problems of socialism and, more controversially, from liberalism. In a major critique of Marxist and post-Marxist political economy he argues that one of its central problems may be traced to its treatment of the apparently innocuous concept of division of labour. This has led, he shows, to a confusion of the effects of markets and property relations. In consequence explanations of uneven development and of the distribution of power in advanced economies are flawed."
