Through examining Marx's methods of critique and abstraction, this book presents a series of problems in conventional social thought and the alternatives Marx's approach poses. It demonstrates how ...sound social science abstraction cannot but have political, often radical, implications.
Presents an account and technical assessment of Marx's economic analysis in Capital, with particular reference to the transformation and the surplus-value doctrine, the reproduction schemes, the ...falling real-wage and profit rates, and the trade cycle. The focus is on criticisms that Marx himself might have been expected to face in his day and age. In addition, it offers a chronological study of the evolution of that analysis from the early 1840s through three 'drafts': documents of the late 1840s, the Grundrisse of 1857–1858, and the Economic Manuscripts of 1861–1863. It also provides three studies in application, focusing on Marx's 'evolutionary' orientation in his evaluation of the transition to communism and his rejection of 'egalitarianism' under both capitalist and communist regimes; his evolving perspective on the role of the industrial 'entrepreneur'; and his evolving appreciation of the prospects for welfare reform within capitalism.
Brudney traces post-Hegelian thought from Feuerbach through Bauer to Marx's work of 1844 and his Theses on Feuerbach, and ends with an examination of The German Ideology. He shows how Marx attempted ...to reveal humanity's nature and a notion of the good life, while polemicizing against any concern with metaphysics and epistemology.
Es decir, podemos entrar en la intimidad del "laboratorio de Marx", como reza el título de una de las obras mencionadas, para ahondar en elementos que nos permiten aclarar el sentido de lo ...desarrollado en El Capital, pero más importante, para ir más allá. Siguiendo con estos desarrollos, en el cuarto capítulo, "La crisis del capital en los Grundrisse" escrito por Lucas Manuel Villasenin, se muestra como el desarrollo capitalista lleva necesariamente a crisis sucesivas, pero que no implican sí o sí su superación, sino que en la mayoría de las veces lleva a que expanda la escala en la que predomina su lógica, subsumiendo mayor cantidad de territorios. Sin embargo, no se la plantea como una tendencia mecánica e inexorable, sino como un proceso con contratendencias que es solo observable a largo plazo y tomando al capital de conjunto. Para concluir, se plantean una serie de posibilidades y expectativas en torno a un capitalismo, donde el trabajo no esté alienado (o enajenado, en términos de El Capital) y pueda ser organizado de manera más libre, democrática y racional.

Marx's Infernoreconstructs the major arguments of Karl Marx'sCapitaland inaugurates a completely new reading of a seminal classic. Rather than offering a critique of classical political economy, ...William Roberts argues thatCapitalwas primarily a careful engagement with the motives and aims of the workers' movement. Understood in this light,Capitalemerges as a profound work of political theory. Placing Marx against the background of nineteenth-century socialism, Roberts shows howCapitalwas ingeniously modeled on Dante'sInferno, and how Marx revised republican ideas of freedom in response to the rise of capitalism. Combining research on Marx's interlocutors, textual scholarship, and forays into recent debates, Roberts traces the continuities linking Marx's theory of capitalism to the tradition of republican political thought. He immerses the reader in socialist debates from the past, showing how they speak to ever-renewed concerns about political life in today's world.
This, the first book-length study devoted exclusively to Marx's perspectives on gender and the family, offers a fresh look at this topic in light of twenty-first century concerns.
