The Mismeasure Of Wealth Summary

The Mismeasure Of Wealth: Essays on Marx and Social Form by Patrick Murray

Murray's essays concentrate on Marx the historical materialist, the investigator of historically specific social forms of wealth and labour. In probing Marx's dialectical accounts of the commodity, value, money, surplus value, wage labour and capital, The Mismeasure of Wealth establishes Marx's singular relevance for critical social theory today.
