Status Updates From Karl Marx and the Close of ...

The Marxian system has a past and a present, but no abiding future.

In the very young social sciences marxism was able to attain influence, great influence, and it will probably only lose it very slowly, and that because it has its most powerful support not in the convinced intellect of its disciples, but in their hearts, their wishes, and their desires.

Having finished Marx's big three, let's get to repudiating them. First stop: Eugen Von Böhm-Bawerk on the difficult reconciliation of Volume I's value and III's profit-determined prices. Intellectually very honest, as alluded to by Sweezy in the intro.

I have finished Bohm-Bawerk's criticism of Marx's LTV and am now missing Hilferding's retort and a Bortkiewicz's correction of Marx's LTV. I got this from the M*ses Institute website but I do not think they realise this copy includes a criticism of BB, funnily. BB's criticism is valid, the first three chapters give an overview of LTV and where it fails to provide a connection between surplus value and profit.
