But his analysis provides a concreteness missing from Marx and engages with critical issues of the modern world that Marx could not have foreseen. This book argues that a critical Marxist engagement can simultaneously increase the power of Keynes’s insight and enrich Marxism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo understand Keynes, whose work is liberally invoked but seldom read, Dunn explores him in the context of the extraordinary times in which he lived, his philosophy, and his politics. By offering a detailed overview of Keynes’s critique of mainstream economics and \u003ci\u003eGeneral Theory\u003c\/i\u003e, Dunn argues that Keynes provides an enduringly valuable critique of orthodoxy. The book develops a Marxist appropriation of Keynes’s insights, arguing that a Marxist analysis of unemployment, capital and the role of the state can be enriched through such a critical engagement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe point is to change the world, not just to understand it. Thus the book considers the prospects of returning to Keynes, critically reviewing the practices that have come to be known as ‘Keynesianism’ and the limits of the theoretical traditions that have made claim to his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Bill Dunn is probably the perfect person to write this book. I don’t know of anyone else writing “critical” political economy who has such a synthetic grasp of both Marxian and Keynesian economics. The fact that his name will be on the cover will make people trust what is between them.'\u003cbr\u003eGeoff Mann, Professor, Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The worlds between Marx and Keynes are separated by many things: ideologically, politically and ideologically, but also epistemologically. Efforts have been made over the last few decades to theoretically integrate one of the two figures into the other. Or others have just underlined the absolute opposite of the two. Dunn certainly doesn't want to do either exercise again.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMasereel Fonds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: towards a critical but constructive appraisal of Keynes’s thought\u003cbr\u003e1 Keynes’s life and times\u003cbr\u003e2 Keynes’s philosophy\u003cbr\u003e3 Keynes’s politics\u003cbr\u003e4 Economics before the \u003ci\u003eGeneral Theory\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 Keynes’s \u003ci\u003eGeneral Theory\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6 Unemployment: making Marxist use of Keynes\u003cbr\u003e7 Money\u003cbr\u003e8 Profit and interest\u003cbr\u003e9 Money and states in capitalism’s uneven development\u003cbr\u003e10 Keynesianism in practice?\u003cbr\u003e11 Keynesian theory after Keynes\u003cbr\u003e12 The decline of Keynesianism and the prospects for return\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041019134295,"sku":"9781526154903","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526154903.jpg?v=1750948623","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/keynes-and-marx-9781526154903","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
