> From: Jonathan Nitzan
> Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS: Capital as Power
>
> CALL FOR PAPERS on the subject of "Capital as Power."
>
> The present global crisis opens the door for theoretical alternatives. The
> two main paradigms of capital accumulation ? the neoclassical utility
> theory of value and the Marxist labour theory of value ? are in disarray.
> Many leading neoclassicists now concede that their "world is broken" and
> that their utilitarian "pillars of faith" have collapsed. Marxists have
> been content to see these confessions, but they remain unable to offer a
> convincing alternative based on labour values. These failures call for a
> new theoretical, methodological and empirical framework for rethinking
> capitalist valuation and accumulation ? a framework based not on utility or
> labour time, but on power.
>
> We are calling for paper presentations to be organized in several related
> panels under the general heading of "Capital as Power." The papers can be
> theoretical, methodological or empirical, and they can examine any aspect
> of capital as power. The panels will be included as part of the upcoming
> "Rethinking Marxism" Conference, to be held on November 5-8, 2009, at the
> University of Amherst Massachusetts.

> If you wish to present a paper on one of these panels, please write to
> Jonathan Nitzan (nitzan@yorku.ca). The conference registration deadline is
> August 1, 2009. In order to set up our panels in a timely fashion, we
> request your proposal (title and a 200 word abstract) to be sent in to
> Nitzan by June 1, 2009.
