Hi folks,
If you are thinking about buying the new ('improved') edition of
Beyond CAPITAL, you may want to know that there seems to be quite a bit of
variation in prices for the paperback edition. Price listed on the UK
Palgrave site (blurb below) is L19 while the US Palgrave site is
$23USD; Amazon, on the other hand, lists it at $25USD, but I see that
Barnes & Noble is taking orders for $18.36 USD---- it's just out and is
already in the remainder bins!
cheers,
michael

>'Lebowitz's argument about the inadequacy of Marx's formulation of
>relative surplus value is a major contribution to Marxian thought.' - Tony
>Smith, Philosophy, Iowa State
>
>'This book offers an outstanding contribution to Marxist theory. It is
>innovative, clear-sighted and thought-provoking. Lebowitz is one of the
>most original thinkers of our age. Beyond Capital should be read by all
>those with an interest in Marx's analysis of capitalism.' - Alfredo
>Saad-Filho, Political Economy, School of Oriental and Asian Studies, London
>
>Reviews of the first edition:
>
>'...a rigourous, insightful and pleasantly readable book on the theme of
>class subjectivity, and this should give to any Marxist - especially any
>Marxist 'political economist' - sufficient reason for reading it.' -
>Massimo de Angelis, Capital & Class
>
>'If understanding anything involves understanding its limits, then anyone
>who wants to understand Marxism in general and Capital in particular
>should read Lebowitz's book.' - James Devine, Monthly Review
>
>'The major theoretical achievement of the book is the construction and
>analysis of [Marx's] missing book on wage labour.' - David Houston, Review
>of Radical Political Economics
>
>Description:
>In a completely reworked edition of his classic (1991) volume, Michael A.
>Lebowitz explores the implications of the book on wage-labour that Marx
>originally intended to write. Focusing upon critical assumptions in
>Capital that were to be removed in Wage-Labour and upon Marx's
>methodology, Lebowitz stresses the one-sidedness of Marx's Capital and
>argues that the side of the workers, their goals and their struggles in
>capitalism have been ignored by a monolithic Marxism characterized by
>determinism, reductionism and a silence on human experience.
