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. 410 0$aHistorical materialism book series.$x1570-1522 ;$vVolume 161. 606 $aMarxian economics 606 $aCapitalism 615 0$aMarxian economics. 615 0$aCapitalism. 676 $a335.412 700 $aMattick$b Paul$f1944-$01473460 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796870303321 996 $aTheory as critique$93686626 997 $aUNINA
