Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This volume, originally published in French under the title Que faire du Capital?, offers a new interpretation of Marxs great work. It shows how the novelty and lasting interest of Marxs theory arises from the fact that, as against the project of a pure economics, it is formulated in concepts that have simultaneously an economic and a political aspect, neither of these being separable from the other. ?Jacques Bidet conducts an unprecedented investigation of Marxs work in the spirit of the history of science, exploring it as a process of theoretical development. Traditional exegesis reads the successive drafts of Capital as if they were complementary and mutually illuminated one another. In actual fact, like any scientist, Marx only wrote a new version in order to correct the previous one. He started from ideas borrowed from Ricardo and Hegel, and between one draft and the next it is possible to see these being eliminated and restructured. This labour, moreover, was never fully completed. The author thus reassesses Marxs entire system in its set of constitutive categories: value, market, labourpower, classes, working class, exploitation, production, fetishism, ideology. He seeks to pin down the difficulties that these encountered, and the analytical and critical value they still have today. ?Bidet attaches the greatest importance to Marxs order of exposition, which assigns each concept its place in the overall system, and makes the validity of the construction depend on the pertinence of its initial presuppositions. This is particularly the case with the relationship between market mechanism and capitalism and thus also between the market and socialism.Jacques Bidet is Professor at the University of ParisX, holding the chair of Political Philosophy and Theories of Society. His other publications include Thorie de la modernit(1990), John Rawls et la thorie de la justice (1995), Thorie gnrale, Thorie du droit, de lconomie et de la politique (1999) and Explication et reconstruction du 'Capital' (2004).
