By critically examining the labor theory of value championed by utopian socialists and the utility theory of value advocated by the Marginalist Revolution, Lopes demonstrates that both theories face equal criticism within Marx's Critique of Political Economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLopes further elucidates the distinction between classical and vulgar political economy, as established by Marx, and sheds light on the varying strands within non-Marxian economics. Often perceived as a work rooted in the 19th century, Das Kapital emerges as a pivotal blueprint for the ongoing construction of economic science, particularly as it pertains to the interests and struggles of the working class across different historical periods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough meticulous analysis and insightful interpretation, Lopes provides a rich and detailed account of Marx's intellectual journey, highlighting the profound implications of his theories for understanding the dynamics of capitalism and the ongoing struggle for social and economic justice. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in exploring the foundations of economic thought and the ongoing challenges facing the working class in the contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 356g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 229 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781642598148\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tiago Camarinha Lopes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44188695134458,"sku":"9781642598148","price":16.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1682086514696_book.jpg?v=1682262714","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/law-of-value-and-theories-of-value-symmetrical-critique-of-classical-and-neoclassical-political-economy-9781642598148","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
