Topic: Marxian economics


In the News (Thu 24 Jul 08)

  
  MARXIAN ECONOMICS
Soon after the death of Karl Marx, a Marxian school of economics emerged under the leadership of Marx's inner circle of companions and co-writers, notably Friedrich Engels and Karl Kautsky, both of whom were German.
However, the Marxian school was soon embroiled in a "Revisonist" debate within the ranks - in the humanist challenge issued by Eduard Bernstein against the older materialist interpretation of Marx.
Specifically, Bernstein (1899) challenged the Marxian notion that the economic breakdown of capitalism was "inevitable" and thus if socialism is to exist, it must be a conscious choice, channeled through the political end educational system, rather than a matter of preparing for the "inevitable" revolution.

 Postscript to Marxian Economics
In the light of this analytical vacuum, it is not altogether surprising that one modern Marxist commentator should describe Marxian economics as the 'economics of capitalism' and capitalist economics as the 'economics of socialism'.
Marxian economic theory provided no obvious justification for this choice, though an independent theoretical rationale for it could be developed - and was by an obscure Soviet economist named Fel'dman - with the aid of Marxian analytical categories.
Economic determinism, strictly interpreted, meant that all thought and all action were shaped by economic circumstances.

 Labour (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In classical economics and all micro-economics labour (or labor) is a measure of the work done by human beings and is one of three factors of production, the others being land and capital.
In Marxian economics, the aim of labour economics is to provide insight and guidance for the optimal allocation of cooperative human labour.
Marxian economists believe that ultimately the most desirable form of labour organization in the workplace is where workers manage themselves collectively, and elect managers where necessary; too much management is inefficient, it just means that people get high incomes for doing very little, capitalizing on specialized knowledge or qualifications.

Marx was the first to insist forcefully on a systematic connexion between economic roles and attitudes and he gave thereby a tremendous stimulus to the development of serious sociological study.
The function of economic analysis is thus restricted to laying bare the laws of historical change which foredoom the destruction of capitalism, and to demonstrating the futility of policies designed to relieve its ills.

 Value, Exploitation and Class
I claim Marxian microeconomics is interesting mainly for what it enables us to say about class formation and exploitation.
