Chapter 16 in Fetishism and the Theory of Value, 2021, pp 305-309 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this brief final chapter, I note strong similarities between the key questions that have arisen in recent Marxist literature concerning the environment and financialisation, showing how these relate to two fundamental issues in Marx’s analysis: the production of surplus value and the appropriation of this surplus by capital. I reiterate my claim that Marx’s qualitative theory of value and the associated concept of fetishism have continuing relevance to an understanding of twenty-first-century capitalism, but that this has not been sufficiently recognised.
