This second volume completes a critical history of the social, political, and theoretical forces behind Marxian economics—the only work in English to offer such comprehensive treatment. Beginning with Marxian analyses of the Great Depression and Stalinism, it explores the theories developed to explain the 鈥渓ong boom鈥 in Western capitalism after the Second World War. Later chapters deal with post-Leninist theories of imperialism and continuing controversies in value theory and the theory of exploitation. After outlining recent work on the 鈥渟econd slump,鈥 the integration of rational-choice theory into Marxism, and the political economy of socialism, the book concludes with a review and evaluation of Marxian theory over the whole period since Marx’s death. Praise for the first volume: 鈥淗oward and King have done an excellent job… One comes away with the impression of Marxian economics being a vibrant subject, relevant to the problems of these times and useful in practical matters.鈥—Meghnad Desai, The Times Higher Education Supplement
