"The sequence of events initiated by neoliberalism is not unprecedented. In the late nineteenth century, when economic conditions were similar to those of the 1970s, a structural crisis led to a financial hegemony, culminating in the speculative boom of the late 1920s."--BOOK JACKET.

Roots of the Neoliberal Revolution

Capital Resurgent

Sağlığında terimi reddetmiş olsa da, Marksizm öncelikle Karl Marx’ın (1818-1883) düşüncesidir. Bu, gerçek anlamıyla olağanüstü zenginlikte ve sürekli evrimleşen bir düşüncedir. Ancak Marx’ın Marksizme kattıkları, Komünist Manifesto’nun da dahil olduğu birçok eserin diğer yazarı ve Marx’ın ölümü sonrasında Kapital’in II. ve III. ciltlerini yayına hazırlayan Engels’in kattıklarından ayrılamaz. Ölümlerinden sonra fikirleri, kendilerini onların takipçisi olarak gören düşünürler ve siyasal akımlar tarafından çok farklı doğrultularda geliştirilmiştir. Bugün hâlâ kapitalist düzene karşı radikal mücadelelerin büyük bölümüne ilham vermektedir. Üç yetkin Fransız Marksisti tarafından hazırlanan bu kitap, 100 maddeyle Marksizmin başlıca kavramlarını aydınlatmakta ve her birinin merkezinde yer alan siyasal, iktisadi ve felsefi konuların ve tartışmaların iç içeliğine dikkat çekmektedir.

Marksizmin 100 Kavramı

Dominique Lvy

The debate around growing inequality is raging amongst economists, and Marxists are finding new ways to map-out the modern economy. Managerial Capitalism introduces a new way of understanding the changing structure of our economy through the emergence and behaviour of a new class - managers.In the post war years as social democracy reigned, managers tended to form compromises with workers. However, under neoliberalism, allegiances have shifted. Today, a new alliance is forming between managers and capitalist owners, changing the nature of the hierarchy of power under capitalism. Additionally, the authors argue, this is happening much faster and universally than was previously thought.By applying Marx's basic concepts to the reality of the system today, through the use of extensive data sets as well as firmly rooting the argument in its historical context, Managerial Capitalism updates Marxism for the twenty-first century, through showing how the modes of production today are shaped by a new class, that must be understood if it is to be challenged.

Ownership, Management, and the Coming New Mode of Production

Managerial Capitalism

This is a work of empirical economics, in which Dumenil and Levy adduce a wide range of evidence to argue that capitalism has entered a phase characterized by rapid technological change, increasing returns to capital, and financial instability. While the authors focus on the interpretation of contemporary capitalism, they also integrate an historical perspective, showing that in the immediate post-World-War II era from 1945 till 1975, now considered a golden age of capitalism in which economic growth was high, inflation low, and income inequality decreasing, returns to capital decreased. In the 1970s this trend reversed, and real interest rates started rising, returns to capital increased, and income inequality widened. This cycle occurred in earlier eras, including one that began in the late nineteenth century and ended in The Great Depression. The authors argue that the similarity between the late nineteenth early 20th century and the past two decades is remarkable. Following the depression of the 1890s, more favorable profitability trends were established as a result of the managerial revolution, in the context of the original assertion of the political and economic hegemony of finance. This course of capitalism culminated in The Great Depression. Will the second hegemony of finance end as the first one did in collapse? The authors do not conclude that a crisis similar to the Great Depression is on the agenda, but a major adjustment will be required. Whether it is a new phase of neoliberalism or a new distinct social order is an open question.

The Crisis of Neoliberalism

De quelle manière Marx a-t-il renouvelé ses idées politiques face aux problèmes posés par les évolutions historiques de son temps ? Comment sa critique de la philosophie s'est-elle développée et radicalisée ? A quelle théorie économique cette " sortie de la philosophie " aboutit-elle dans Le Capital ? Pour comprendre la cohérence du projet de Marx et la force de ses idées, c'est dans ses écrits mêmes qu'il convient de se plonger. Tel est précisément le but de cet ouvrage qui encadre sa lecture à partir d'un choix de textes situés dans leurs contextes et suivis d'explications. En dévoilant les principes et les enjeux fondamentaux de ces " morceaux choisis ", cette introduction permet au lecteur d'appréhender la pensée de Marx hors de toute caricature, et de saisir son étonnante actualité, à la lumière des débats contemporains.
