Infos

Contemporary capitalism is always evolving. From digital technologies to cryptocurrencies, current trends in political economy are much discussed, but often little understood. So where can we turn for clarity? AsMichael Roberts and Guglielmo Carchedi argue, new trends dont necessarily call for new theory.InCapitalism in the 21stCentury, the authors show how Marxs law of value explains numerous issues in our modern world. In both advanced economies and the periphery, value theory provides a piercing analytical framework through which we can approach topics as varied aslabour, profitability, automation and AI, the environment, nature and ecology, the role of China, imperialism and the state.This is an ambitious work that will appeal to both heterodox economists and labour movement activists alike, as it demonstrates the ongoing contemporary relevance of Marxist theory to current trends in political economy.
