{"product_id":"radical-political-economy-robin-hahnel-9781138050037","title":"Radical Political Economy: Sraffa Versus Marx","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor too long radical political economy has suffered for lack of a coherent alternative to formal Marxian economic theory. People have had to choose between (1) continuing to use a formal model based on the labor theory of value as Marx developed in \u003ci\u003eCapital\u003c\/i\u003e to justify and retain one's opposition to capitalism, or (2) abandoning the formal Marxian framework as outdated, and risk losing a critical evaluation of capitalism. \u003ci\u003eRadical Political Economy: Sraffa Versus Marx\u003c\/i\u003e provides readers with a third choice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA point-by-point comparison of Sraffian and Marxian treatments of prices, profits, technological change, economic crises, environmental sustainability, and the moral case against capitalism, are presented in six core chapters. They explain how the Sraffian treatment surpasses the formal Marxian treatment in every case. Both Marxian and Sraffian theories are presented in a highly accessible way, while large professional literatures are thoroughly referenced throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarx was not the first, but remains the greatest, critic of capitalism, and richly deserves his place in history. However it is time to use intellectual tools unavailable to Marx in the nineteenth century to improve upon his formal analysis. This book is of great importance to those who study Sraffa and Marx, as well as academics and students who are interested in political economy, the history of economic thought, and economic and philosophical theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Hahnel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138050032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138050037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Robin Hahnel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896544780543,"sku":"9781138050037","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74c14032-e737-41cc-84a1-4650ba79a281.jpg?v=1721371689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/radical-political-economy-robin-hahnel-9781138050037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
