How Is Critical Economic Theory Possible?: Social and Critical Theory, cartea 28

Autor György Márkus, János Kis, György Bence John Edward Grumley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 aug 2022
This book is a masterpiece of critical theory. It provides an illuminating and original meta-theoretical account of Marx’s general views of critical economic theory. Sympathetic to the general aims of Marx, it also excavates the internal contradictions of the Marxian theory with unparalleled care. Written in Hungarian in the early 1970s, it was censored by the communist authorities immediately after its completion. Its belated publication in English signifies a major boon for research scholars in a range of disciplines, including philosophy, political economy, Marxism, intellectual history, and Eastern European studies.
