Twentieth-Century Marxism

Benjamin Ward

Chapter 5 in What’s Wrong with Economics?, 1972, pp 71-87 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract If Marxism is a Kuhnian science, it is an early science, in which rival schools flourish and first principles continue to be argued at least as frequently as problems of detailed development. This, I think, is the clear result of a straightforward application of Kuhn’s tests for a normal science to Marxist economics. But perhaps there are inherent reasons why sciences of society should differ from the natural sciences that form the basis of Kuhn’s appraisal. Two such reasons seem particularly relevant.
