This paper examines the prospects for Marxist political economy. It does so by confining itself to the western academic scene, emphasising that such prospects are brighter than for a long time in light of the dual retreat from the extremes of both neo-liberalism and postmodernism. This reflects a renewal of interest over the past twenty years in the material and systemic realities of contemporary capitalism, an interest that will be reinforced by the global crisis. On the other hand, an intolerant mainstream economics, itself seeking to expand across the social sciences in the form of economics imperialism, is a threat. Nonetheless,there are good reasons to be optimistic, especially for the role of Marxist political economy across the social sciences and in interdisciplinary endeavour, with the social sciences being more open in their future directions and content, and in which it is crucial to intervene and make a difference.
Abstract
This paper examines the prospects for Marxist political economy. It does so by confining itself to the western academic scene, emphasising that such prospects are brighter than for a long time in light of the dual retreat from the extremes of both neo-liberalism and postmodernism. This reflects a renewal of interest over the past twenty years in the material and systemic realities of contemporary capitalism, an interest that will be reinforced by the global crisis. On the other hand, an intolerant mainstream economics, itself seeking to expand across the social sciences in the form of economics imperialism, is a threat. Nonetheless,there are good reasons to be optimistic, especially for the role of Marxist political economy across the social sciences and in interdisciplinary endeavour, with the social sciences being more open in their future directions and content, and in which it is crucial to intervene and make a difference.
