Is Marx an economic thinker?
In this groundbreaking reading of Marx, which also functions as a trenchant critique of capitalism as it exists in society, Werner Bonefeld pushes the boundaries of Marxist critique to show how Critical Theory can engage productively with Marxism. Drawing a path between Adorno and the Frankfurt School's work on capitalism and social value, and Marx's original writings, Bonefeld charts new waters for critical theory today.
By bringing production and reproduction, primitive accumulation, politics and crisis together into a single frame Bonefeld shows how the modern worker is the dispossessed producer of surplus value in the world market. In doing so he shows Marx's relevance for modern capitalist economies and societies.
