Open Marxism 2: Theory and Practice

Through a series of interconnected articles, this book makes available a range of international authors for an English readership. Topics covered include: Marxism and political economy, historical materialism, dialectics, state theory, class crisis, fetishism and the periodization of capitalist development. Picking up where the debates of the 1970s left off, these collections assess current debates in Marxist theory and project an open Marxism by way of critical response to the determinism and positivism which characterize much of contemporary left-wing thought.
