Summary:

From the 1960s to the 1990s the ground-breaking Japanese economists Kozo Uno and Thomas Sekine developed a masterful reconfiguration of Marxist economics. Written in Japanese, the Uno-Sekine approach to Marx is little understood in the West.

This book provides the first accessible guide to the Uno-Sekine approach. John Bell shows how problematic elements of Marxian political economy such as the law of value and die law of relative surplus population can be solved by using a rigorous dialectical analysis. Bell's synthesis provides economists with die tools to interrogate capitalism in a more powerful way than ever before.
