The book also includes a detailed introduction to this novel thesis first put forward by Nitzan and Bichler in their Capital as Power.Although endorsing the capital as power argument to varying extents, contributors to this volume agree that a new understanding of capital that radically departs from Marxist and Neoclassical theories cannot be ignored.
