The Culmination of Capital: Essays on Volume III of Marx's Capital

In this collection, four philosophers and four economists consider the Third Volume of Marx's Capital. The essays take up each of the major themes of Volume III - competition, for formation and development of the general rate of profit, the credit system and finance capital, rent, the Trinity formula and the concept of class - and consider them in the light of the two previous volumes. The authors share a focus on the concept of social form in Marx's work and on the method of his argument. The collection is intended both for specialists in Marxian theory and for students of the history of economic thought and of methodology.;Cover; Contents; List of Figures; Preface; Notes on Contributors; 1 Marx's Capital III, The Culmination of Capital: General introduction; 2 Class, Capital and Crisis; 3 Capital in General and Marx's Capital; 4 Hostile Brothers: Marx's theory of the distribution of surplus-value in Volume III of Capital; 5 'Transformation' and the Monetary Circuit: Marx as a monetary theorist of production; 6 Capital, Competition and Many Capitals; 7 Surplus Profits from Innovation: A missing level in Capital III?
