Marx After Marx: History and Time in the Expansion of Capitalism by Harry Haroot

Description: Marx After Marx by Harry Harootunian Revisiting Marxs seminal conception of capital and production to better critique our diverse global economies. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Marx After Marx, Harry Harootunian questions the claims of Western Marxism and its presumption of the final completion of capitalism. If this shift in Marxism reflected the recognition that the expected revolutions were not forthcoming in the years before World War II, its Cold War afterlife helped to both unify the West in its struggle with the Soviet Union and bolster the belief that capitalism remained dominant in the contest over progress. This book deprovincializes Marx and the Wests cultural turn by returning to the theorists earlier explanations of capitals origins and development, which followed a trajectory beyond Euro-America to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Marxs expansive view shows how local circumstances, time, and culture intervened to reshape capitals system of production in these regions. His outline of a diversified global capitalism was much more robust than was his sketch of the English experience in Capital and helps explain the disparate routes that evolved during the twentieth century. Engaging with the texts of Lenin, Luxemburg, Gramsci, and other pivotal theorists, Harootunian strips contemporary Marxism of its cultural preoccupation by reasserting the deep relevance of history. Author Biography Harry Harootunian spent most of his career teaching history and East Asian studies at the University of Chicago, where he is Max Palevsky Professor of History Emeritus.

Theorizing Late Development and the "Persistence of Feudal Remnants": Wang Yanan, Yamada Moritaro, and Uno Kozo 5. Colonial/Postcolonial Afterword: World History and the Everyday Notes Index Review This is a landmark study within Marxist thought. Drawing largely on Marxs later works for its conceptual tools and theoretical method, Marx After Marx analyzes how different regions under differing circumstances cast a plurality of developmental forms all under the general code of capitalist accumulation. -- Michael Dutton, author of Policing Chinese Politics: A History Harry Harootunian is singularly qualified to give us a Marxism adequate to the conditions of a genuine world (as against a Hegelian universalist) history in a global age. The Marx who emerges from this book is a nuanced, empirical, and genuinely historical thinker instead of the pseudo-scientific philosopher of history met with in textbook accounts of Western Marxism. -- Hayden White, University of California, Santa Cruz Promotional This book deprovincializes Marx and the Wests cultural turn by returning to the theorists earlier explanations of capitals origins and development, which followed a trajectory beyond Euro-America to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Marxs expansive view shows how local circumstances, time, and culture intervened to reshape capitals system of production in these regions. Harootunian strips contemporary Marxism of its cultural preoccupation by reasserting the deep relevance of history. Review Quote Harootunians reading of Marx, in particular, is a revelation and should put to rest the facile assumption that Marxs conception of the historical is reducible to the banalities of modernization theory. Marx After Marx is a provocative and important intervention in a critical conjuncture by a major scholar.
