Statement of Purpose and Ordering:	Volume 27 (2011, 296 pp.) REVITALIZING MARXIST THEORY FOR TODAY'S CAPITALISM Editors: Paul Zarembka, SUNY at Buffalo, and Radhika Desai, University of Manitoba As a few alert mainstream and corporate economists rediscover the certain elements of Marx’s analysis of capitalism, the essays in the first part of this volume demonstrate that they have much more to discover. To their discredit, mainstream understandings – whether of capitalism’s growth or of western capitalism’s interrelated long-term stagnation and financialization – are derailed precisely by political aversion to, or ignorance of, Marxist categories and analyses. The chapters in the second part extend Marxist insights into assessing the value of the so-called information, or knowledge-based, commodities, and offer a Marxist critique of Lenin, the only world leader who earlier had deeply studied his own country's economy. The part also presents two important works in translation. The first, read by Marx himself, raises serious questions about the relevance of Hegel in the understanding of Capital and offers its own insightful analysis. The other, by a Marxist collective in the 1970s demonstrates the centrality of politics and the class struggle in the allegedly ‘economic’ devalorization of constant capital. The final part contains a debate on the merits of ‘positivist Marxism’ sparked by an article in Volume 26.

This RESEARCH annual is founded on analyzing society in a manner consistent with classical marxism. International in scope, the annual volumes deal primarily with economic and political issues and the unity between them. Both theoretical and empirical works are included. While published papers must be appropriate for developing class analysis of society, they need not be explicitly marxist. The RESEARCH can accept papers up to 50 pages in print (on occasion, even longer) and thus is appropriate for work which is not book length, yet is substantial. For submissions, please send your paper, double-spaced type with noting as endnotes followed by a reference list, to the editor either electronically or three copies to the postal address above. Usual practice is review by two competent persons, on a double-blind basis, within a relatively short period of time.

"Collections like Research in Political Economy provide a forum for ...
serious radical scholarship so grotesquely absent from most mainstream
periodicals" -- Richard B. DuBoff, Monthly Review

"... has played a very positive role in developing the scientific Marxist
agenda for the last 25 years" -- Ajit Sinha, Science & Society
