May 5, 2018 marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl
Heinrich Marx, German scientist, philosopher, economist, and
sociologist. His creative genius created a system-functional model
of contemporary society, defined its socio-economic character, and
formulated scientific and philosophical approaches for its
cognition. Marx also developed methodological clues for identifying
and substantiating the economic nature of phenomena, processes and
the socio-economic relations that mediate them, which are of
critical relevance today. Before Marx, political economy was an
eclectic combination of separate theories and concepts espoused by
various philosophers. Marx was able to transform the field into a
coherent science with a single systemic approach. Today, the
generally recognized economic mainstream has no way of explaining
in detail the causes of the ongoing global economic crisis.
However, it is generally accepted that modern Marxist legacy
researchers have advantages in their analyses. They believe that at
the start of the 21st century capitalism does not tend to
self-destruct. However, its failings are more and more clearly
manifested. They believe that the capitalist system has not
outlived its weaknesses, and the old bourgeois financiers have not
been replaced, as was necessary, by a generation of new leaders
armed with new methods of management and capable of coming up with
solutions to current problems. The philosophical underpinnings of
the capitalist economic system have laid a time bomb under the
whole ideology of capitalism. Capitalism as a development system
ceases to exist. The truth, which was found in the past writings of
Marx, cannot be completely rejected, nor should it be venerated as
a museum exhibit. This book is aimed at reactivating fundamental
political and economic studies on the rules and functioning of the
global geo-economic system from the point of view of a modern
interpretation of Karl Marx's concept of objective processes in the
conditions of the current systemic crisis of capitalism.
