Understanding what this means, it shows, goes far to unravelling many difficulties traditionally found in Marx’s book, from the nature of his theory of class to the 'transformation problem'. Secondly, Mattick’s volume carefully explores how to bridge the gap between the extreme abstraction of Marx’s ideas and the complex reality that they are intended to help us understand.Historical materialism book series.1570-1522 ;Volume 161.Marxian economicsCapitalismElectronic books.Marxian economics.Capitalism.335.412Mattick Paul1944-900532MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466455503321Theory as critique2462041UNINA
