Book Description
Rejects both the return to a specifically Hegelian Marxism and the earlier reformulation of Marx in an analytical neoclassical mode, in an attempt to steer a third way that stresses the Marxian theory of value. The author argues that Marx’s value theory was a unique theory of money that is able to apply scientific rationality to the mysticism of Hegel because money is the ‘existent universal’ or essence of exchange-value. Examines the specificity of the exchange system to show that money is nothing other than control over definite portions of the total labor needed for the social product.
