Essays on Marxâs Capital
Summaries, Appreciations and Reconstructions
Series: - Historical Materialism Book Series, Volume: 309
Author:
In this book Geert Reuten presents 21 of his previously published essays on the three volumes Marxâs Capital, dating from 1991â2019. The essays largely take the form of a summary of Marxâs text (a Volume or its Parts or Chapters) followed by an appreciation and (when required) a reconstruction. The book thus offers an overview of each of the three volumes of Capital, including their interconnection, as well as a focus on specific Parts of Capital. Throughout the general overviews and more focused analyses, Reuten emphasises Marxâs systematic-dialectical method and his monetary value-form analysis.
Geert Reuten, PhD (1988), taught for 35 years economics at the University of Amsterdamâs School of Economics, where he is currently a guest research associate. He has authored four academic books, edited six volumes, and published 80 academic articles (accessible at http://reuten.eu).
