Beyond Capital: Marx's Political Economy of the Working Class

Book Description

A completely reworked edition of his classic volume, Michael Lebowitz's Beyond Capital explores one of the great debates among Marx scholars, that of the implications of Marx's uncompleted works. Lebowitz focuses on the side of the workers, which, he argues, was not developed in Marx's Das Kapital and which was to be the subject of his intended book on wage-labor. Beyond Capital criticizes the one-sidedness of much of Marxist thought and argues that Marx's political economy of the working class and the way in which human beings produce themselves through their struggles are central for going beyond capital.

Brilliant and devastating.......2006-05-12

Michael Lebowitz, Professor of Economics at Simon Fraser in Vancouver, has been able to do with this book what no theoretician has done in decades: he has actually added to Marx and the Marxist view of society, explaining what Marx left out of "Capital", and showing what the importance of the missing parts of Marxist theory is.

The crux of the book is this: "Capital", says Lebowitz, is essentially a one-sided book. It brilliantly explains the Marxist view of the political economy of capitalism, but only from the side of capital. This one-sided view of society has led to many errors and a constant problem with economism. Lebowitz, however, is able to show that what is missing is (among other things!) a view of capitalism from the vantage point of wage-labour.

This of itself is already quite groundbreaking. But the book goes on to explain the consequences of this (wilful) omission, and shows how viewing the capitalist society from the point of view of wage-labour allows us to solve or at least clarify many issues that have bothered Marxists for many decades. Among these are:

- What place the class struggle can have in the 'closed' system of capitalism;
- What the meaning is of the reproduction of the labourer by means of his wage;
- The theory of capitalist crises from the view of the wage-labourer;
- How the rising real wages of labourers in history since Marx in no way refutes Marxism, and how it is in fact compatible with the immiseration ("Verelendung");
- What the role of capital is in the problem of unpaid domestic labour on the part of wife and children in patriarchal family relations;
- Why (as reviewer Byars pointed out) socialism is not inevitable, and yet can be a more rational and productive system from the view of the wage-labourer;
- And why capitalism always tries to create new needs for wage-labourers, and at once always must fail to fulfil them.

Lebowitz has done a masterful job and the book is written in clear language, though a basic understanding of "Capital" and the Marxist view of political economy is certainly needed to understand the book. All who profess Marxism or are even slightly interested in Marx' views for economic or historical reasons must have this book on their shelf. For the value you get out of it, the price is a steal.

Opening Eyes.......2007-02-01

As a somewhat different look at poverty and what Christians ought to be doing to help those in need, this book was definitely eye-opening. The authors base their statements on the "Villars Statement on Relief and Development," an incredibly compassionate document every deacon, at least, ought to read. I rather think Christians in general ought to read it. Perhaps this will enable Christians to do the important work of helping those in need, and thus get the government out of doing so. Interestingly, another book in this series, "Prosperity and Poverty" by E. Calvin Beisner, illustrates that the problem of poverty in the United States isn't nearly as large as many people think it is, nor is the church at all incapable of dealing with it. Together, then, there is really no excuse for Christians not helping the poor and the oppressed.

Book Description

Important lessons for policy makers are provided here as contributors evaluate the effectiveness of domestic economic policies and the recommendations of international organizations such as the World Bank regarding the economic development of developing countries. Challenges posed by debt problems, corruption, population dynamics, poverty, and the absence of adequate human and physical capital are highlighted. Contributors cast doubts on the conclusions of the prevailing theories of economic development with patterns of economic change over the course of the 20th century. Their findings point out the issue of inadequate social capability as a critical factor in understanding the lack of economic development in many developing countries. They suggest that contemporary theorizing tends to pinpoint necessary but insufficient conditions for the successful implementation of development strategies in these countries.

Communication for Development in the Third World: Theory and Practice for Empowerment

ASIN: 0803991053

Book Description

Accessible and practical, Designing Messages for Development Communication takes the reader step by step through the process of designing audience-responsive messages in the Third World. Bella Mody takes the media producer through an audience research-based methodology to bridge the cultural and informational distance between senders and receivers. A discussion of the origins and nature of media use in national development over the last 30 years forms the introductory background against which the author reviews the current research on media effects. Mody presents audience research as a systematic device for the involvement of message receivers in decisions concerning message design, that is, what the message needs to say and how. This volume instructs development and communication planners, as well as media workers, first to listen to the audience so as to determine which information the audience needs and in what form they can process it most effectively and, then, to pretest messages before they are produced in their final form. A valuable tool for the media producer's problem of the "invisible audience" in mass communication, this volume is essential reading not only for students and teachers of development communication, but for media users and media producers who produce messages to support development. "The book will be of great help to those who work in the field on the facilitating level, training people to be future trainers in the field of development supporting communication." --Massacommunicatie "In this very welcome book . . . the author has done a very good job of turning development (support) communication 'common sense' into 'practical academic sense.' She has shown in a practical way that it is not enough only to propound high-sounding academic theories about common sense-based participatory development communication and then fail to show how they work in real life, as many of us have done and continue to do. The author has married theory to practice by showing media practitioners how it can/has been done." --Media Development

Global Development: A Reference Handbook.......2000-07-17

Savitt and Bottorf have done a valuable service for the discipline of development economics, first for compiling a comprehensive set of resources in the field and second for making it accessible to the beginner as well as to the expert.

The authors offer a concise introduction to development, including its history and economic principles. Those with an interest in the role of women and development will not be disappointed with the treatment of issues in that area.

Particularly valuable to the researcher are the reference sections, including a chronology, biographical sketches of some of the most notable figures in development, facts and statistics, organizations, an selected print and nonprint resources.

This book is an excellent reference and an essential item on the shelf of every scholar - or nonscholar - who is interested in the plight of the poor throughout the world.

Welcome to the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, "five days and six nights of rarefied discussion attended by at least 2,000 gratifyingly important people from 150 countries," with "heads of state, finance ministers, policy intellectuals, Nobel Prize-winning physicists, corporate executives as thick upon the ground as pine needles." Among the 1998 notables: Bill Gates, George Soros, Newt Gingrich, and Helmut Kohl (who, in his opening remarks, informs his audience that the euro is coming and they'd better get used to it, citing the leadership example of his mother, "a marvelous woman, as wise as she was strong-minded, who taught her children to eat the meals placed in front of them on the kitchen table without sniveling objection"). Your guide to this congregation of the international plutocracy is Harper's editor Lewis Lapham, and although he occasionally finds himself "at a loss to know which late-afternoon briefings to attend, the one about El Niño or the one about robots," he manages to put the hype surrounding the global economy into a darkly humorous perspective worthy of comparison to Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad. In addition to his itinerary during the 1998 Davos summit, Lapham also provides an account of a later economic conference held in New York, which also serves as a recap of the extremely volatile year, and a dictionary of received ideas wherein we learn, to pick one example, that bureaucrats are "Enemies of Free Enterprise. No bureaucrat knows what it means to meet a payroll or take a risk. Europe has too many of them."

less scathing than expected.......2005-02-04

and thats a plus. The Agony of Mammon is Lewis Lapham's account of his field trip to the 1998 WEF at Davos. As a book based around a subject as complex as global economics, it is pleasantly short and readable. One strong point of the book, for me anyways, is that Lapham doesn't ever seem to make his human research subjects-the participants of the WEF- into unwitting caricatures of themselves by typing them as selfish monsters who recklessly control the majority of the worlds resources in an effort to achieve domination. That is, until one reads the satirical glossary at the end of the book.
Overall a digestible, refreshing, mostly non-partisan glimpse into the hopelessly social aspects of a particular event which anyone reading this review will probably never ever participate in.

Bill Richardson on Iraq.......2004-11-08

This book describes the Davos scene in winter. Davos, in case you have not received your invitation yet, is where the elite meet on an annual basis to discuss the mega-issues facing mankind. More precisely, it's where buyers (banks) and sellers (governments) come together to discuss investment possibilities -- risk and reward. That's all fine, and Lapham's description of the event strikes me as reasonably accurate. But here's the reason to look at this slim book. Take a look at the pages wherein Bill Richardson, then the US Secretary to the UN, describes Saddam Hussein and the threat posed. For a minute, forget that you are reading about views expressed during the Clinton Administration. Remarkably consistent argument across Administrations. In Richardson's words, "He's asking to be bombed."

Scathing attack on our anti-democratic rulers.......2001-07-31

Every winter, some 2000 members of a modern cargo cult make their way to the resort of Davos. They seek, like other supplicants, enlightenment in the high mountains, in their elusive delusive Shangri-La. They confer and network and ruminate, seeking to divine the movements of their inscrutable God. And they search for the seers who will reveal the truth.

Who are these modern cultists? Well, they call themselves 'the great and the good'. They certainly preach a great deal of good, for ever propounding the virtues of insecurity and austerity for others, of security and wealth for themselves.

Conspicuous amongst them last year were representatives of two of the world's most arrogant Governments. Helmut Kohl was there promoting the euro, telling members that it would be introduced, whether the peoples of Europe liked it or not. And the US Ambassador to the United Nations boasted how he told the UN's members that "we will send the bombers no matter what you decide to do."

Coincidentally, Thomas Mann set his great novel The Magic Mountain in Davos. There, his characters lived in states of advanced and terminal ennui, induced by their endless vague ratiocinations, but at least their deliberations did no harm to others: they suffered, but did not inflict suffering on others.

These modern cultists suffer the same ennui, induced by their endless seminars, networking and presentations. They have the shared delusion, that capitalism, a system driven by pitiless self-seeking, brings universal benefits. For the system that they worship, now for the first time imposed virtually worldwide, is at once plunged into near universal decline. Living standards fall, and unemployment rises, across the globe. Wars and social disintegration spread.

This witty book beautifully deflates the pretensions of these characters. All their clumsy deliberations cannot hide the fact that their preferred solution, unfettered capitalism, is the problem; the problem they abhor, socialism, is the solution.

Worth Reading, But Too Short to Be Worth Buying..........1999-11-28

Davos without a Translator

Every year in Davos, Switzerland a number of the world's great and good--or at least powerful and egocentric--meet for a few days at the World Economic Forum to discuss the economic destiny of humanity. Business executives, central bankers, politicians, intellectuals, futurologists, journalists--all descend to hear each other make speeches and to talk to each other in the halls.

To this assembly went Lewis Lapham, the somewhat iconoclastic high-ranking member in good standing of the American literary establishment. The Agony of Mammon is his report of what he heard there. My initial set of reactions on picking up this book were three:

First, the book is so short--only 80 pages, big print, each page only 6" x 4". It has a total of 19,000 words. Printed with normal margins in 12-point Times, its manuscript must have taken up only 48 pages. For Verso to charge... ...times the cost of xeroxing the manuscript for each copy--strikes me as extremely self indulgent. Books are supposed to be a more efficient way of reproducing text than a xerox machine. If Verso doesn't make money on this book, shame on them for gearing up the machinery of modern printing for something with such a trivial print run. If they do make money on this book, shame on them for overcharging those who bought the book.

Second, the book seems to miss the thing that is most interesting about the annual Davos meeting of the World Economic Forum: that it happens at all, and that it is thought newsworthy by those who are not there. In previous eras the meetings that were of genuine interest were those between princes to decide between war and peace, or between churchmen to decide which of their number were heretics to be burned at the stake and which districts would suffer the fire and sword of the crusade. But in this era people meet to talk about monetary policy, productivity, business organization. To me at least that is a very hopeful sign--commerce and productivity being much more pleasant things to experience than war or excommunication. Yet Lewis Lapham doesn't seem to be aware that in the long historical perspective economics is an unusual subject for a worldwide newsworthy meeting.

Third, when Lewis Lapham arrives in Davos it soon becomes clear that he does not understand what he is hearing. When MIT economist Rudiger Dornbusch calls for the rich investors of New York and Frankfurt to be forced to eat a large share of the collective losses from the East Asian financial crisis, Lewis Lapham hears Rudi as a voice calling for "austerity"--a voice saying the same thing as the central bankers who say that European unemployment benefits are too high or the corporate princes who urge that the last shreds of the social-democratic welfare state need to be purged from South America. But Rudi was saying something completely different from the central bankers and the corporate princes: Rudi's point was that the East Asian financial crisis had already destroyed great wealth, and the question was whether the richest 1% were going to pay or the non-richest 99%. Rudi's speech was a message of anti-austerity. But that was not what Lewis Lapham heard.

Why not? Because Lewis Lapham doesn't speak the language. He doesn't understand the denotation of the words that he heard at Davos--that when X was said, it meant that Y was excluded, and that everyone else there understood the functioning of the economy well enough to know that if you wanted Q you also had to take R, and that S and T were compatible only in the absence of U. And Lewis Lapham did not take along a translator: there was no economist tagging along behind him to point out that he had failed to understand Rudi Dornbusch, or the Chinese entrepreneur for whom the coming of the pager to China is a big deal, or George Soros, or Alan Greenspan, or indeed the organizer Klaus Schwab, or in all probability most of the other people he talked to. As a reporter of what was actually said and meant at Davos, Lewis Lapham is the ultimate unreliable narrator.

But if he did not understand denotations, what then did he hear? And this is where the book becomes truly interesting. For not understanding the denotations he is forced to listen to the connotations: the emotional penumbra cast by the thoughts and ideas had and expressed at Davos. And in his listening to the connotative penumbra he hears four interesting--and I think very true--things.

* That in their claims to control--or even to understand--the course of the global economy, high politicians are faking it: Bill Clinton's "fine pose of high presidential seriousness was exactly that--a pose, an extended television commercial, a department store window display." That is not to say that there are not half-successful attempts to manage the global economy: there are, and they are half-successful. But politicians who promise all good things to all people and deny that there are choices (more insurance against global warming or more minivans? faster economic growth or smaller recessions?) are not the ones who make them.

* The uneasy combination of confidence in the utility and rightness of market forces--the market as the creator of wealth and efficiency, and also as the rewarder of industry and expertise--with the awareness that "...the market, like God, didn't always answer everybody's prayers... and that the world was a more uncertain place than one might guess sitting here on the terrace of the Berghotel Schatzalp..."

* "The sincerity of... [the] devotions or the wealth of... [the] good intentions" of those who had come to Davos to discuss the state of the world--but coupled with their inability to understand how the world was going to move, for the attendees at Davos were the world's best managers, not politicians, not visionaries. And it was politicians and visionaries that are needed to lead, not managers.

* The extraordinary role of Alan Greenspan--who truly has been "outfitted" (albeit not hastily) by the globe's businessmen and speculators with proconsular power to calm the world economy...

So definitely a recommended book.

But don't read it if you don't understand monetary policy, or the world economy--you will wind up confused because you will try to read it for the denotations, and you can't because Lewis Lapham doesn't understand them.

And don't buy it, period: it is socially inefficient--wasteful of time and energy and resources--to put the covers of a book around a manuscript so small. If the market is going to work as a social planning and resource allocation mechanism, organizations like Verso need to be punished for their destructive deviancy. Instead of buying it, read it in the bookstore. It will only take you at most thirty minutes, after all.

Too short & not too sweet.......1999-04-08

I was expecting more quotes to let me get a feel on what it was like to be there. Most of what was said in the book I could've guessed for myself without ever having stepped foot in Davos.
