Money, Value And Marx'S Circuit Of Capital

~~119,25€~~ 107,33€ 10% OFF

 The twelve papers collected in this volume of Research in Political Economy mark a new phase in the study of capitalism, centred on the reproduction of total social capital. They address the widely felt need to reconnect political economy with real-world phenomena, including financial crises, long-term stagnation, poverty, inequality, and economic injustice.Seeking to renew pluralist dialogue among all currents critical of the dominant neoclassical paradigm particularly those aiming to move beyond the equilibrium framework that permeates it the volume offers important new insights into Marx s value theory. These constitute a significant addition to both the existing body of Marx studies and to a broader understanding of capitalist reproduction, accumulation, and the sources of their recurrent failures.This shared engagement rests on the recognition that the study of the circuit of capital can shed fresh light on the fundamental concepts of money, price, value, and credit, and on their role in explaining capitalism s laws of motion : accumulation, historical origins, and reproduction itself. The volume thus advances critical debates and paves the way for future research on the dynamics of capitalist reproduction.

Imperialism And The Political Economy Of Global South'S Debt

112,63€ + 10% CARD

 <p>The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the nagging issue of the Global South''s debt back into the spotlight. With declining export earnings and tax revenues, many countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia have found themselves objectively unable to service their foreign currency debt. This situation, reminiscent of the international debt crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, is the backdrop of the 38<sup>th</sup> volume of the <em>Research in Political Economy</em> series edited by Ndongo Samba Sylla. </p><p>In <em>Imperialism and the Political Economy of Global South’s Debt</em>, expert contributions connect the history of this issue with a range of factors including class dynamics, the changing landscape of sovereign debt markets, the global liquidity cycle, the enduring constraints of commodity dependence, ecological sustainability and the limitations of the current ad hoc sovereign debt restructuring procedures. In contrast to orthodox accounts that view debt crises in the Global South as a cyclical problem or as consequences of ''mismanagement'' or ''fiscal irresponsibility''. <em>Imperialism and the Political Economy of Global South’s Debt</em> recognises the systemic nature of the Global South’s external debt, revealed only further by the economic uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the need to analyse it in relation to existing imperialist structures.</p>

Imperialism And Transitions To Socialism

119,24€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This collection of essays is designed to shed light on the issues of imperialism and the transitions to socialism. Written by eighteen contributors, from twelve countries and three continents, it is organized into two main parts. The first section delves into the theoretical aspects, the analysis of which is key for understanding the subject under consideration. The second part of the volume is focused on the examination of practical experiences of socialist transition, more or less advanced and with varying degrees of success, in China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil.</p><p><em>Imperialism and Transitions to Socialism </em>argues that countries wanting to embark on a socialist transition is not only a response to a spirit of justice, but also an answer to the call of reason: it is a question of survival for humanity, and for life. Socialism is not just a word, it is a struggle. It is not an end, but a transition process, long and difficult, that can take many paths towards the liberation of labour from the domination of capital. It is socialism, a society of solidarity, which walks with history.</p>

Capitalist Commodification Of Animals

109,96€ + 10% CARD

 While animal suffering and abuse have taken place throughout history, the alienation of humanity from nature caused by the development of capitalism - by the logic of capital and its system of generalized commodity production - accelerated and increased the depredations in scope and scale.<div><br>The capitalist commodification of animals is extensive. It includes, but is not limited to:<ul><li>livestock production in concentrated animal feeding operations</li><li>leather and fur production</li><li>the ivory trade in which tusks are used for ''traditional medicines; or carved into decorative objects</li><li>entertainment such as in zoos, marine parks, and circuses</li><li>laboratory experimentation to test medicines, beauty products, pesticides, and other chemicals</li><li>the pursuit of trophy hunting, sometimes on canned farms and sometimes in the wild</li><li>bioengineering of livestock and of animals used in laboratories</li></ul><div>The contributors to this special issue of Research in Political Economy provide insightful analyses that address the historical transformations in the material conditions and ideological conceptions of nonhuman animals, alienated speciesism, the larger ecological crisis that is undermining the conditions of life for all species, and the capitalist commodification of animals that results in widespread suffering, death, and profits. This book is a must-read not only for political economists, but also for researchers interested in animal studies, environmentalism, and sustainability.</div></div>

Class History And Class Practices In The Periphery Of Capitalism

109,96€ + 10% CARD

 Only after World War II did scholars move to theorize the distinction between the core countries at the center of capitalism and peripheral countries, often with an added distinction to include the semi-peripheral. Immanuel Wallerstein''s World Systems approach has been particularly important and led the term periphery into common scholarly parlance. Not surprisingly, much work remains to be done to untangle the extreme diversity and complexity of the political economies and resistances against the multidimensional cruelties perpetrated in the world’s many, very different peripheral contexts. <div><br></div><div><i>Class History and Class Practices in the Periphery of Capitalism</i> addresses this need head-on. A first chapter lays a theoretical groundwork by showing that Marx, in his later life, became aware that historical developments are much more complicated than he originally conceived them to be, and he was not as far away from calling for site-specific analyses. Contributions here carry out just such analyses: they describe specificities for Russia, Portugal, Argentina, and Mexico, offer broader perspectives on post-hegemonic Latin America and Asia, provide detailed analyses of resistances across Africa, and reflect on the deeper meaning of neozapatismo for promoting a shift in the entire terrain of discussion. </div><div><br></div><div>Rich in theoretical depth and empirical rigor, and supplemented by an out-of-the-archive translation of Karl Katusky''s theory of crises, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of political economy and international political economy, and it is of keen interest to anyone working to resist specific capitalist exploitations in their own place and time.</div>

Return Of Marxian Macro-Dynamics In East Asia

 <p>The economic growth in East Asia has been believed to be the model case of the triumph of capitalism.

East Asia has now become an epicentre of the contradictions and crisis of global capitalism. Today, deepening economic crises, exacerbation of social polarization, rising popular discontents, and escalating geopolitical tensions are common to China, Japan and Korea. Moreover, East Asia has been at the centre of global ecological contradictions. Indeed, East Asia has now become the typical place of Marxian macro-dynamics. ;</p><p>This important and timely volume brings together experts in political economy from across the globe, to comment on the return of Marxian macro-dynamics in East Asia.
