Add to basketPaperback. More and more people have turned to Marxian economics in recent years. But isnt it a defunct branch of the dismal science, disproven by the experience of the past 150 years, of no interest to anyone except historians? In this book, David Ruccio demonstrates why the answer to that question is a resounding no. He offers a clear and accessible introduction to the basic concepts and theoretical strategies of Marxian economics, its key differences from mainstream economics, and its many applications to the real world. Focusing on Marxs critique of both mainstream economic theory and capitalism, Ruccio extends that analysis to contemporary topicsfrom inequality and economic crises to racial capitalism and the climate crisisand outlines the key debates among Marxian economists. He concludes with a discussion of the ways Marxian economists today think about the possibility of moving beyond capitalism. The book is suitable for students and professors, as well as readers outside the academy interested in learning about Marxian economics. It will be useful both as a stand-alone text and as a companion to reading Capital. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
