		<description><![CDATA[If only to get the &#8220;Crapman&#8221; post off the top of the blog&#8230; ;-P
I&#8217;ve been asked to do a guest lecture on Marx for a large first-year undergraduate economics for social scientists course, which apparently spends its final three weeks on the general theme of &#8220;radical approaches to economics&#8221;.  I&#8217;ve been invited, in other [...]]]></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.

		<description><![CDATA[Marx makes significant edits to Capital between the first German edition in 1867 and the second in 1873 &#8211; edits that begin to be articulated in his revisions for the serialised French publication of Capital between 1872 and 1875.  Revisions are particularly heavy in Capital&#8217;s opening chapter &#8211; where the concept of the fetish [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m writing on Elster&#8230; another bit that caught my eye in passing&#8230;
Elster (1985:124-25) understands that Hegel is being name-checked when Marx appeals to notions of essence and appearance in discussing the relation of value and price.  Because, however, Elster assumes Marx is attempting to explain movements of price via his theory of value, [...]]]></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[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[Well maybe just a little bit about sex in Capital&#8230;  Backtracking a bit from the passage discussed in the previous post&#8230;.
The second chapter of Capital begins where the previous chapter ostensibly left off: with a programmatic declaration about what commodities are unable to do, given that they are only things, not people.
Commodities cannot themselves [...]]]></description>
