Volume 18 (2000): VALUE, CAPITALIST DYNAMICS AND MONEY
"This volume begins with an introduction to Marx's theory of
capitalism in his own words, with his examples modernized from use of
shillings and pence as subdivisions of the Pound. Well-known 1901 work on
the theory of crises in capitalism by Michael Tugan-Baranowsky is
translated into English for the first time, with a Preface placing it in
context. The political activism and theoretical work of Henryk Grossman
through 1926 is summarized in some detail, and a rarely-known brief
article of his from 1919 included.
"Ambiguity in Marx's definition of accumulation of capital and the
differing directions Lenin and Luxemburg took with it are next analyzed,
with a more precise definition offered. Debate, begun in the last volume,
over the valuation of means of production and its effect on the
possibility of a falling tendency of the profit rate is taken a step
forward as contrasting positions are developed.
"Finally, credit money as an advanced form of money is analyzed and
the post-Keynesian analysis of it, originating from Kaldor, subject to
critique. Several theories of inflation theory are reviewed, with focus
on the agencies causing inflation. A rediscovery of Marxian inflation
theory is proposed."
NOTE: Marx's "Value, Price and Profit (Abridged)" is also on RPE Web site.
