Three Essays on Marx's Value Theory

”“Marxian political economy, Samir Amin observes in Three Essays on Marxs Value Theory, has all too often been content with the mere exegesis of Marxs texts while failing to utilize his method to extend the critique of capitalism to the present. Representing a sharp departure from this, Amins revolutionary new work, Three Essays on Marxs Value Theory, outlines the fundamental changes in the analysis of the system, including value theory, that are necessary in order to understand todays & capitalism of generalized, financialized, and globalized monopolies. Three Essays on Marxs Value Theory is an indispensable part of the theoretical synthesis that Amin has offered in recent years, including The Law of Worldwide Value and The Implosion of Contemporary Capitalism. To say that I highly recommend it to all of those concerned with these issues would be an understatement.”–John Bellamy Foster, editor, “Monthly Review”

Samir Amin was one of Africa’s leading Marxists and world-systems analysts. He is well known for his work on non-Eurocentric Marxism, imperial rent, the global monopoly phase of capitalism, delinking; his call for a Fifth International of workers and peoples and his anti-imperialism.
