This sequel to Marx and Non-Equilibrium Economics introduces the
key advances in modern value theory. Leading authors with
contrasting theoretical viewpoints debate equilibrium and
non-equilibrium approaches, abstract labour and money, and provide
an invaluable introduction to the rapidly growing body of new work
in these fields. The authors cover cutting-edge topics in value
theory including gender and money, crisis theory, the impact of
technology, skilled and complex labour, and the effect of
international transfers of value. All of the papers in The New
Value Controversy and the Foundations of Economics concentrate on
new research. The mathematical content is minimal, allowing both
active researchers and new students to introduce themselves to the
burgeoning critical reappraisal of the foundations of Twentieth
Century economic thinking.
What causes inequality? This book features an international
discussion on the economic causes of inequality between nations and
addresses the causes and effects of world inequality and its
possible remedies. Inequality has acquired the iconic status once
accorded to Full Employment, Growth, and Inflation. It is not a new
issue being a major preoccupation of welfare state literature and
the development debates of the 1950s and intersects with debates
among economic historians on The Great Divergence. The revivals of
these two intersecting controversies go beyond a minor dispute on
the margins of economics, to the heart of the question 'how far can
we trust the market?' The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of The Japanese Political Economy.
This book is a unique contribution to scholarship on the sources of
the conflict in Ukraine. The volume brings together writers from
Russia, Ukraine, Canada, the United States, Europe and Australia,
many of whom attended a gathering of scholars and activists from
all over Ukraine, held in Yalta, Crimea, just after the conflict in
Eastern Ukraine erupted. Challenging both the demonization of
Russia, which has become standard for Western writing on the topic,
and the simplistic discourse of official Russian sources, this book
scrutinises the events of the conflict and the motives of the
agents, bringing to the fore the underlying causes of the most
critical flashpoints of the post-Soviet world order. This volume
offers a refreshing, profound perspective on the Ukraine conflict,
and will be an indispensable source for any student or researcher.

This collection focuses on a long-running debate over the logical
validity of Karl Marx's theory that exploitation is the exclusive
source of capitalists' profits. The "Fundamental Marxian Theorem"
was long thought to have shown that orthodox Marxian economics
succeeds in replicating Marx's conclusion. The debate begins with
Andrew Kliman's disproof of that claim. On one side of the debate,
representing orthodox Marxian economics, are contributions by Simon
Mohun and Roberto Veneziani. Although they concede that their
simultaneist models cannot replicate Marx's theory of profit in all
cases, they insist that this is as good as it gets. On the other
side, representing the temporal single-system interpretation of
Marx's theory (TSSI), are contributions by Kliman and Alan Freeman.
They argue that his theory is logically valid, since it can indeed
be replicated when it is understood in accordance with the TSSI.
While the debate initially focused on logical concerns, issues of
pluralism, truth, and scientificity increasingly assumed center
stage. In his introduction to the volume, Nick Potts situates the
debate in its historical context and argues forcefully that the
arguments of the orthodox Marxist economists, and the manner in
which those arguments were couched, were "suppressive and contrary
to scientific norms." The volume concludes with a 2014 debate, in
which many of the same issues re-surfaced, between the philosopher
Robert Paul Wolff and proponents of the TSSI.

"An erotic scandal chronicle so popular it became a byword...
Expertly tailored for contemporary readers. It combines scurrilous
attacks on the social and political celebritites of the day,
disguised just enough to exercise titillating speculatuion, with
luscious erotic tales."
--"Belles Lettres"
This story concerns the return of to earth of the goddess of
Justice, Astrea, to gather information about private and public
behavior on the island of Atalantis. Manley drew on her experience
as well as on an obsessive observation of her milieu to produce
this fast paced narrative of political and erotic intrigue.
This is a study of fiction by Scottish women spanning the late
1890s to the early 1930s. Seven authors are included: Violet Jacob,
Mary and Jane Helen Findlater, Lorna Moon, Catherine Carswell,
Willa Muir, and Nan Shepherd. It identifies a continuity of
development within and between the women's careers. Each evolved
from writing narratives expected of fiction aimed at the women's
market to more innovative forms which increasingly questioned
traditional values. From this perspective we can locate the authors
in an intriguing relation to the contexts of Scottish literature,
modernist sensibility, and to the feminism asserting itself in that
age of upheaval.
