Written especially for the non-specialist reader, with minimal math, Reclaiming Marx's “Capital” seeks to reclaim Capital from the myth of inconsistency, a myth that serves to justify the censorship of Marx’s critique of political economy and present-day research based on it. Kliman shows that the alleged inconsistencies are actually caused by misinterpretation.
A tremendously powerful refutation of all those smart ass economist dude arguments that “Marx is inconsistent.”
–– Glenn Rikowski, educational theorist
Someone has finally rescued Marx from the Marxists.
–– Alan Freeman, U. of Greenwich
Kliman demonstrates that the Marxist theory can by all means be interpreted in a way that avoids the purported inconsistencies.
–– Wolfgang Fritz Haug, Das Argument
I was impressed with Kliman's refutation of the Okishio theorem. I didn't think that was possible.
–– Robert Vienneau, Thoughts on Economics blog
Returns Marx’s own work to centre stage. An important unifying work, rather than just another divisive personal opinion.
–– Nick Potts, Southampton Solent U.
Sorts out a bewildering tangle of approaches and issues in order to demonstrate that the charge of internal inconsistency
is false.
–– Thomas Jeannot, Philosophy, Gonzaga U.
He has stripped away the obfuscations of the neo-Ricardians. Marx did not make theoretical errors (at least in the areas that the critics have claimed).
–– Michael Roberts, marxist.com economics columnist
A strong case to be considered the most compelling and consistent interpretation of Capital.
–– Joseph Choonara, International Socialism journal
Kliman’s answers make sense. They convince me that much of what passes as Marxist economics is deeply flawed.
–– Sam Friedman, amazon.com review
