MARXIST THEORY: FROM CLASS STRUGGLE TO POLITICAL ECONOMY

Clark Everling

A chapter in Wisconsin "Government and Business" and the History of Heterodox Economic Thought, 2004, pp 323-345 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: This paper traces the path of Marxism in the 20th century with special focus upon its place within political economy. It argues that the emphasis upon Marxism as a political economy has been directly connected to movement away from Marxism as a theory of class struggle. It begins by establishing how and why, in Marx’s view, all history is a history of class struggles and integrates this perspective with his work inCapital. It is argued that political economy was one of the things Marx was critiquing and that he was attempting to show political economy to be a product of capitalism rather than seeking to establish a Marxist political economy.
