{"product_id":"frontiers-of-political-economy-9780860915669","title":"Frontiers of Political Economy","description":"Transcending the arid formalism of present-day economic theory, Frontiers of Political Economy develops a new and accessible perspective on the world economy. Guglielmo Carchedi identifies and analyses three key features of modern capitalism: the rapidly increasing share of human labour needed for the advancement of science and technology rather than for the production of goods; the global, rather than national, nature of production, distribution and consumption; and the dominance of the oligopolies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis analysis enables Carchedi to explore new theoretical frontiers: from an original theory of mental and material labour to an investigation of the conditions under which mental labour produces value; from an assessment of the class structure of modern capitalism to an appraisal of the social content of science and technology; from an alternative account of crises, inflation and stagflation to a study of their relation to the destruction of value and to arms production. He also cast fresh light on a number of basic contemporary issues--including the present financial and monetary crisis--and surveys the most important recent controversies in language accessible to non-specialists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRigorous and wide-ranging, but written with great lucidity, Frontiers of Political Economy is an essential book for both specialists and students in economics and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780860915669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.08w x 0.96d","brand":"Guglielmo Carchedi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52146978291893,"sku":"9780860915669","price":29.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_21716940-bc6a-43bd-a359-bf6d78bc0836.jpg?v=1767678292","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/frontiers-of-political-economy-9780860915669","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
