In order to understand the resilience of capitalism as a mode of
production, social organization, and an intellectual system, it is
necessary to explore its intellectual development and underlying
structure. A Historical Political Economy of Capitalism argues that
capitalism is based on a dominant intellectuality: a metaphysics.
It proposes the construction of a history-based 'critique of
political economy', capable of revealing the poverty of
capitalism's intellectual logic and of its application in practice.
This involves a reconsideration of several classical thinkers,
including Smith, Marx, Berkeley, Locke, Hobbes, Hume and Rousseau.
It also sketches an emancipative methodology of analysis, aiming to
expose any metaphysics, capitalist or none. In doing so, this book
proposes a completely new approach in materialist philosophy. The
new methodology in political economy that is proposed in this
volume is an alternative way to organize a materialist approach.
Some basic aspects of what is argued by the author can be found in
Marx. This book is well suited for those who study political
economy and economic theory and philosophy, as well as those who
are interested in Marxism.
