This volume of new, original essays reflects the lifelong concerns
and writings of the person they honor, Professor Howard Sherman.
Sherman wrote on a wide range of topics - the causes of recessions,
depressions and mass unemployment under capitalism; the
difficulties and challenges of establishing viable democratic
planning systems under socialism; the down-to-earth realities of
economic life in the United States, the Soviet Union and elsewhere;
and the theoretical traditions he drew upon to inform these
empirical studies, i.e. Keynesianism, institutionalism and, most
especially, Marxism. The contributors follow in Sherman's tradition
through their careful analysis of topics such as the long-term
trends in contemporary global capitalism; the relationship between
Marxism and institutionalism; debates over the usefulness of class
analysis; the political economy of financial liberalization;
lessons from the demise of socialism in the Soviet Union and China;
and the possibilities for advancing a workable egalitarian economic
agenda. This book demonstrates the continued vibrancy and relevance
of radical political economy as a mode of social scientific
analysis. Scholars and students in economics, sociology, history,
philosophy and political science will find the essays
thought-provoking and informative.
