Twenty-first-century capital: Critical post-Soviet Marxist reflections

How Would Marx Have Understood Twenty-first-century Capitalism? For Buzgalin And Kolganov, The Answer Lies In A Theoretical Investigation Of How And Why The Fundamental Elements Of Capitalism- Commodities, Money And Capital - Have Changed Since The Publication Of Marx's Capital More Than 150 Years Ago.
