An indispensable read\"\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Freeman, University of Manitoba \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The West has a lot to learn from Japanese Marxian economics, which brings concepts like surplus value, class, the exploitation of labor, and commodification into dialogue with neoclassical economics. This innovative work, following in the footsteps of Nobuo Okishio, Michio Morishima and Kei Shibata, provides a historical perspective on political economy and labor exploitation using extensive mathematical modelling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Suitable for students of economics, this is a new way to approach mainstream economics from a Marxian angle, and a fresh perspective on historical materialism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Hiroshi Onishi engages with recent developments in Marxian economics and demonstrates the lasting power and salience of Marxian analyses for contemporary economies. In particular, Onishi explores how capitalism emerged out of pre-capitalist societies, the origins and sources of exploitation, and uneven accumulation. This book makes use of modern analytical tools and empirical data to develop its claims, and it profiles the author's distinctive synthesis of a theory of exploitation and a Marxian approach to optimal growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHiroshi Onishi\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus at Keio University and Kyoto University in Japan, and a vice-chair of the World Association for Political Economy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hiroshi Onishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745347185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745347189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Hiroshi Onishi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070122193151,"sku":"9780745347189","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c7efd2c-497e-40f0-925c-555b555eda8f.jpg?v=1685428484","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marxian-economics-hiroshi-onishi-9780745347189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
