		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick thought, drawing on some of the elements from a conversation happening over at roger&#8217;s site.
In the post below, I mentioned that one of the parallels that could be drawn between Darwin&#8217;s work, and Marx&#8217;s, was that both are concerned to explain how a nonrandom result &#8211; a pattern of historical change &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Light posting for the moment, as it&#8217;s the beginning of our term here, and so things are quite hectic, but I wanted to pick up on one small point that had occurred to me in the course of responding to one of roger&#8217;s recent posts on Marx.

Revisions are particularly heavy in Capital&#8217;s opening chapter &#8211; where the concept of the fetish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Roger&#8217;s comments below on Jon Elster&#8217;s methodological individualism reminded me that I should stash somewhere (like here) a few fragmentary notes on Elster&#8217;s recognition that Marx is making an argument about emergent phenomena &#8211; and the way in which Elster&#8217;s sense of how this sort of argument operates, differs from mine.
In Making Sense of Marx [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A quick archival post before the weekend steals me away from the blog for a bit &#8211; from the opening chapter of the first edition of Capital, as per Hans Ehrbar&#8217;s translation (106):
The measuring stick for &#8220;being social&#8221; must be borrowed from the nature of the relations peculiar to each mode of production, not from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve claimed below that Marx is being ironic &#8211; or, perhaps more accurately, satirical or burlesque &#8211; when he displays forms of analysis that suggest an idealist dialectic playing out in history.  One of the reasons I make this claim is that dialectical gestures of this sort are very regularly followed in Capital by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another fragment on Capital&#8217;s second chapter:  Soon after the dialectical performance discussed below, the text subtly re-establishes the anthropological character of its object of analysis.  The main text introduces a little bit of algebra, giving us an equation for the first exchange of products (181).  In a delightfully ironic footnote hanging from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marx reserves a special sort of loathing for Malthus.  Since chapter 25 of Capital focusses precisely on the ways in which capitalism generates its own distinctive laws of population, the chapter can in many respects be read as a frontal assault on Malthus&#8217; work.  Marx&#8217;s antipathy is so strong, however, that he has [...]]]></description>
