Economic Crisis and Crisis Theory

Rate this book
Keynesian economics claimed to have overcome the problem of economic depressions. However, as Mattick argues that crises are inherent within capitalism and that neither the market nor Keynesianism can stop "the steady deterioration of the economy". Written in 1974, Economic Crisis and Crisis Theory is one of Mattick's most valuable contributions to the Marxist critique of political economy and radical theory in general.

Un año después me acabo de leer este gran libro. Aunque es una obra muy marcada por el contexto en el que fue escrita (1973-1974) es también, sin lugar a dudas, de las mejores obras de crítica de la economía política que he leído hasta ahora, con una explicación magistral sobre la teoria de las crisis en Marx y, sobre todo, en discusión y confrontación con la teoría económica neoclásica, keynesiana y poskeynesiana.

Dejando a un lado los errores del texto, el primer capítulo en el que desmonta la apologética burguesa o "la ciencia económica" es de recomendable lectura.
