Synopsis

"This is a highly controversial and innovative work on Marxian theory. The book ranges from subtle theoretical analysis of the epistemological foundation of currently predominant Marxist interpretations, to the theory of the firm, and to a new interpretation of the State in market economies. Resnick and Wolff are rejecting economic determinism of kinds. Actually, they are rethinking Marxism." Claude Menard, University of Paris, Panthen-Sorbonne.
