Synopsis

This book seeks to reclaim Capital from the myth of internal inconsistency, a myth that serves to justify the censorship of Marxs critique of political economy and present-day research based upon it. Andrew Kliman shows that the alleged inconsistencies are actually caused by misinterpretation. By modifying the standard interpretation of Marxs value theory in two simple ways, the recent temporal single-system interpretation eliminates all of the alleged inconsistencies. Written especially for the non-specialist reader, in a clear, accessible style and with the bare minimum of mathematics, Reclaiming Marxs Capital introduces readers to Marxs value theory and contrasting interpretations of it, the history of the internal inconsistency controversy, and interpretive standards and methods. Kliman then surveys Marxs falling-rate-of-profit theory, the relationship of prices to values (the transformation problem), Marxs exploitation theory of profit, and other topics. The book ends with a discussion of why the myth of inconsistency persists, and a call to set the record straight.
