  1. ‘The Mute Compulsion of Economic Relations’: Towards a Marxist Theory of the Abstract and Impersonal Power of Capital.Søren Mau - 2021 - Historical Materialism 29 (3):3-32.
    According to Marx’s unfinished critique of political economy, capitalist relations of production rely on what Marx refers to in Capital as ‘the mute compulsion of economic relations’. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that this constitutes a distinct form of economic power which cannot be reduced to either ideology or violence, and to provide the conceptual groundwork for a systematic theory of capital’s mute compulsion.

  • Introduction to Nicos Poulantzas, ‘Theory and History: Brief Remarks on the Object of Capital’.Kyle Baasch - 2022 - Historical Materialism 30 (1):237-248.
    In this Introduction I illuminate the importance of Nicos Poulantzas’s participation at a 1967 colloquium in Frankfurt commemorating the 100th anniversary of the publication of Capital. This colloquium is the only published record of a dialogue between a representative of Louis Althusser’s interpretation of Marx and a member of the first generation of the Frankfurt School and thus casts light on the relationship between these two traditions of critical social theory. After contextualising the colloquium and summarising Poulantzas’s paper, I outline (...)

  • The Transition to Capital in Marx’s Critique of Political Economy.Søren Mau - 2018 - Historical Materialism 26 (1):68-102.
    The introduction of the concept of capital inCapital– with the words ‘we find’ – has provoked a great deal of discussion about the precise relation between the categories of simple circulation and the concept of capital. In this article, I argue that Marx derives the concept of capital by way of an analysis of the immanent contradictions of money, and that this dialectical derivation can be understood as a conceptual movement in which the concepts of money and capital progressively change (...)

  • Failed Abstraction - The Problem of Uno Kōzō's Reading of Marx's Theory of the Value Form.Elena Louisa Lange - 2014 - Historical Materialism 22 (1):3-33.
    Uno Kōzō (1897–1977) was Japan’s foremost Marxian economist. His critique of Marx’s method in Capital, especially regarding the ‘premature’ introduction of value-form analysis in Volume I, motivated him to rewrite all three volumes of Capital in his book The Principles of Political Economy (1950–2).Notwithstanding Uno’s increasing popularity in international Marx research, I will present a critical paper that looks at a fundamental misunderstanding in Uno’s reading of the value form. In what is one of the most significant discussions of the (...)

  • La evolución teórica del marxismo: del materialismo histórico a la crítica de la conciencia fetichista.César Ruiz Sanjuán - 2014 - Isegoría 50:143-165.
    En el presente artículo analizamos en sus aspectos fundamentales la evolución teórica que ha experimentado la interpretación de la obra de Marx desde las primeras corrientes que se derivan de ella hasta las más actuales. Nos ocupamos primero del marxismo tradicional, de su concepción determinista del materialismo histórico y su interpretación historicista de la teoría del valor. Abordamos después las corrientes del marxismo occidental que se oponen a las concepciones reduccionistas y economicistas de la interpretación marxista dominante, para centrarnos finalmente (...)

  • Introduction to ‘The Change in the Original Plan for Marx’s Capital and Its Causes’.Rick Kuhn - 2013 - Historical Materialism 21 (3):117-137.
    In his essay, Henryk Grossman made a powerful case for the continued relevance of Marxist economics. He argued thatCapitalis a fundamentally coherent whole, structured by Marx’s method of moving systematically from more abstract to more concrete levels of analysis. Despite considerable subsequent debate and research, Grossman’s account remains the outstanding contribution to our understanding of this aspect of Marx’s principal work.

  • Habermas and the critique of political economy.J. F. Dorahy - 2020 - Philosophy and Social Criticism 47 (6):663-680.
    In recent years, a series of key social, political and economic events has placed the critique of capitalism very much on the theoretical agenda. Responding to these developments, many have begun to express the need for a rapprochement between social criticism and the critique of political economy. The present essay represents a contribution to the recovery of the project that was once synonymous with critical theory itself via a critical engagement with the early writings of Jürgen Habermas. Not only is (...)

  • Abstrakte Arbeit und Anerkennung.Sven Ellmers - 2017 - Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie 4 (1):81-108.
    In den neueren Forschungen zur marxschen Werttheorie wird einhellig und mit besonderem Nachdruck darauf hingewiesen, dass abstrakte Arbeit eine gesellschaftliche Eigenschaft der Arbeitsprodukte ist. Häufi g verstehen die Autoren unter dem mehrdeutigen Adjektiv jedoch Verschiedenes. Im folgenden Beitrag zeige ich, dass schon Marx zu unterscheidende Sachverhalte im Sinn hatte, als er die gesellschaftliche Dimension der Wertsubstanz hervorhob: ihren Bezug zur gesellschaftlich notwendigen Durchschnittsarbeitszeit, ihren Bezug zum gesellschaftlichen Bedarf und die Geschichtlichkeit der warenproduzierenden Gesellschaft. Ich denke, wir müssen auf der Linie (...)

  • El fundamento social del trabajo abstracto en la teoría del valor.César Ruiz Sanjuan - 2023 - Azafea: Revista de Filosofia 25:117-138.
    El presente artículo aborda el análisis que realiza Marx de la categoría de trabajo abstracto, mostrando las contradicciones que contiene y las dificultades que ello implica para la correcta comprensión de la teoría del valor. Especialmente problemáticas a este respecto resultan las interpretaciones que asumen una fundamentación naturalista del trabajo abstracto, pues impiden entender los procesos de mediación que hacen posible la reproducción social en el capitalismo. Frente a esta forma de interpretación, pondremos de manifiesto que solo reconstruyendo la teoría (...)

  • Crítica de la economía política, más allá del marxismo tradicional: Moishe Postone y Robert Kurz.Jordi Maiso & Eduardo Maura - 2014 - Isegoría 50:269-284.
    El presente texto pretende presentar dos propuestas de actualización de la crítica de la economía política marxiana: las de Moishe Postone y Robert Kurz. Sus planteamientos, gestados a partir de los años ochenta, ofrecen claves para superar las insuficiencias del marxismo tradicional y abren perspectivas fructíferas para actualizar la teoría crítica. Partiendo de una reinterpretación común de las categorías de Marx, ambos autores presentan sin embargo diagnósticos diferentes: mientras Postone incide en cómo el capitalismo origina la posibilidad de un nuevo (...)
