Introduction

Barry Hindess and Paul Hirst

A chapter in Mode of Production and Social Formation, 1977, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This text is the product of another, Pre-Capitalist Modes of Production (hereafter PCMP).It is a critique of and a continuation of our earlier work. A critique: certain of the central concepts and problems in PCMP are rejected in this text. A continuation: this rejection is possible only because of the very concepts and problems produced in PCMP. The form of criticism practised here is not a simple rejection, rather it is a working on the unevennesses of the earlier text, it is a means of and a part of new theoretical work. This introduction will review the principal unevennesses at issue and outline our response to them.
