O que é este blog?

Este blog trata basicamente de ideias, se possível inteligentes, para pessoas inteligentes. Ele também se ocupa de ideias aplicadas à política, em especial à política econômica. Ele constitui uma tentativa de manter um pensamento crítico e independente sobre livros, sobre questões culturais em geral, focando numa discussão bem informada sobre temas de relações internacionais e de política externa do Brasil.

Companion to Marxist Economy: uma digressao sobre o nada...


Alguém ainda acredita que a "economia política" marxista sirva para outra coisa senão filosofia política?
Quantos departamentos sérios de economia usam, de fato, QUALQUER categoria econômica marxista -- mais valia, lei tendencia da baixa da taxa de lucro, pauperizacao, MDM, etc -- para qualquer outra coisa senão digressões inúteis no campo da economia?
NUNCA vi qualquer economista digno desse nome usar o ferramental marxista, a não ser para fazer política...
Isso não funciona em NENHUM departamento de economia.
Melhor ver com os Fefelechs da vida...
Paulo Roberto de Almeida

This Companion takes stock of the trajectory, achievements, shortcomings and prospects of Marxist political economy. It reflects the contributors’ shared commitment to bringing the methods, theories and concepts of Marx himself to bear across a wide range of topics and perspectives, and it provides a testimony to the continuing purpose and vitality of Marxist political economy.

As a whole, this volume analyzes Marxist political economy in three areas: the critique of mainstream economics in all of its versions; the critical presence of Marxist political economy within, and its influence upon, each of the social science disciplines; and, cutting across these, the analysis of specific topics that straddle disciplinary boundaries. Some of the contributions offer an exposition of basic concepts, accessible to the general reader, laying out Marx’s own contribution, its significance, and subsequent positions and debates with and within Marxist political economy. The authors offer assessments of historical developments to and within capitalism, and of its current character and prospects. Other chapters adopt a mirror-image approach of pinpointing the conditions of contemporary capitalism as a way of interrogating the continuing salience of Marxist analysis.

This volume will inform and inspire a new generation of students and scholars to become familiar with Marxist political economy from an enlightened and unprejudiced position, and to use their knowledge as both a resource and gateway to future study.
