[Marxism] "Marxist Economic Theory" - Ernest Mandel

[Steve Palmer]

Oh dear. What a recipe for confusion. Mandel AND Brenner? Where do they agree?

Mattick dealt with Mandel's Late Capitalism in
http://www.marxists.org/archive/mattick-paul/1974/crisis/ch05.htm. Brenner is
of course fashionable, but come on, he's a neo-Smithian - he makes competition
the cause, not the result - in complete opposition to Marx.

The original question was about getting to grips with Marx's critique of
political economy. Drink from the source or people who actually stick closely
to Marx.
