Globalization and the Critique of Political Economy: New Insights from Marx's Writings - Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Pradella, Lucia (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK)
The nature of the contemporary global political economy and the significance of the current crisis are a matter of wide-ranging intellectual and political debate, which has contributed to a revival of interest in Marx?s critique of political economy. This book offers a new appreciation of such a critique and its contemporary relevance within the broader frame of the history of political economy.
A distinctive feature of this study is its use of the new historical critical edition of the writings of Marx and Engels (MEGA) and, in particular their partially unpublished notebooks. The sheer volume of this material forces a renewed encounter with Marx and demonstrates that the international sphere and non-European societies had an increasing importance in his research. This booktraces the developments of Marx?s critique of political economy from the early 1840s to Capital Volume 1 and shows that his deepening understanding of the laws of capitalist uneven and combined development allowed him to recognise the growth of a world working class, and to articulate a vision of revolution that overcame the Eurocentric elements still present in his early writings. Marx?s work thus offers the necessary categories to develop an alternative to methodological nationalism and Eurocentrism grounded in a critique of political economy.
This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the development of Marx?s thought and in the foundations of International Political Economy.
