"Along with the constantly diminishing number of the magnates of capital, who usurp and monopolise all advantages of this process of transformation, grows the mass of misery, oppression, slavery, degradation, exploitation; but with this too grows the revolt of the working-class, a class always increasing in numbers, and disciplined, united, organized by the very mechanism of the process of capitalist production itself." -- Karl Marx.

Ich meine, das ist #Baudrillard, der schreibt, dass der grundlegende Fehler von #Marx und überhaupt jeder Form von politischer #Ökonomie sei, dass sie dem Kapitalismus bzw. den Kapitalisten eine Rationalität unterstellen, der dieser selbst überhaupt nicht folge bzw. die es grundsätzlich da gar nicht gäbe. (Ich kriegs nicht mehr richtig zusammen.) #Trump2 ist, denke ich, stellarer Beleg für sein Argument.

Now you're taking the debate back to the 1876 split of the First International. Centralists vs decentralists, stateist vs anarchist and which side of that fence you're on.

"Bakunin characterised Marx's ideas as authoritarian and argued that if a Marxist party came to power its leaders would end up as oppressive as the ruling class they had fought against"

"Wealth inequality is one of the defining challenges of our time, yet class analysis – a fundamental pillar of sociology – has often had surprisingly little to say about it. Given this, Nora Waitkus explores how Marx, Weber and Bourdieu can each offer us ways to think about wealth inequality in a more nuanced way."

LSE Inequalities - Expert views, opinions and policy debate · How to think about wealth inequality from a class perspectiveWhat can class analysis tell us about wealth inequality? Insights from Marx, Weber and Bourdieu can help us think about wealth inequality in a more nuanced way.

Dt. Wirtschaft will #Feiertage streichen und rüttelt am #Arbeitszeitgesetz – ein Evergreen, wenn es darum geht, den Lohnabhängigen Anpassungslasten für »#Wettbewerbsfähigkeit« aufzubürden. Wir haben dazu schon fast einenn Klassiker im Angebot: »Work-Work-Balance. #Marx, die Poren des #Arbeitstag|s und neue Offensiven des Kapitals«, wie es historisch und aktuell die Verfügungsmacht über die Arbeits- und Lebenszeit derjenigen ausweitet, die ausgebeutet werden. 👉 dietzberlin.de/produkt/work-wo

“What have future generations ever done for us?”

We explore this and related issues at the example of #future expectations and present dispositions for social-ecological transformations in #Sweden and with the help of #Marx (Groucho) and #Bourdieu (Pierre).

If you want to get morbidly angry at the capitalist ruling class like I just did, read the 6th chapter of Karl Marx's "The Civil War in France": The Fall of Paris, as well as the whole thing since it's a really good book.

"In a work obviously targeted, like Shaikh’s, at graduate students in economics, the authors approach their objective via a critique of orthodox growth theory and two types of growth models. One, the post-Keynesian Harrod-Domar model, is described as a knife-edge model, as any deviation from a balanced growth path sets off an inexorable process of either inflationary expansion (if investment is above the ‘warranted rate’) or deflationary contraction (if below) – unless states intervene to stabilize the system. The ‘neoclassical’ Solow model, constructed in response to the unrealistic instability of the post-Keynesian model, depended on the ludicrously unrealistic assumptions of perfect competition. It was later combined with the problematic concept of ‘total factor productivity’, and suffered from the notorious ‘aggregation problem’ of measuring the total stock of capital.

After concisely explaining the deficiencies of both models, the authors turn to classical political economy, including Marx, for an alternative. In summary, they counterpose Shaikh’s concept of ‘real competition’ to both neoclassical perfect competition theory and theories of monopoly capital. They explain how aggregation problems can be overcome using a labour theory of value, with estimates of socially-necessary labor-time for the elements of constant capital."

marxandphilosophy.org.uk‘Economic Growth and Long Cycles: A Classical Political Economy Approach’ by Nikolaos Chatzarakis, Persefoni Tsaliki and Lefteris Tsoulfides reviewed by Peter GreenThe primary objective of Economic Growth and Long Cycles, to quote a summary from the final chapter, is ‘to construct a growth-cum-cycles model inspired by the Classical and Marxist Political Economy tradition’ (249). There are those who reject any identification of Marx with the classical tradition, works which, in this respect and others, are indebted to  Anwar Shaikh’s magnum opus Capitalism. But this book, along with Shaikh’s, should become compulsory reading for anyone engaged with the now rather unfashionable quantitative dimension of Marx’s Capital. The model is most innovative in specifying the connections between long cycles (or ‘long waves’) and…
