This book seeks to reclaim Capital from the myth of internal
inconsistency, a myth that serves to justify the censorship of
Marx's 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 Marx's 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 Marx's "Capital" introduces
readers to Marx's value theory and contrasting interpretations of
it, the history of the internal inconsistency controversy, and
interpretive standards and methods. Kliman then surveys Marx's
falling-rate-of-profit theory, the relationship of prices to values
(the "transformation problem"), Marx's 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.
