Marx would recognize the relationship of production that emerges out of the antagonistic split between subjective and objective elements (“primitive accumulation”). The peculiarity of Marx’s capital theory lies in its critical dimension, which supersedes the positivistic theorizing of ordinary economists. However, viewed from the materialistic perspective of capital theory, he had successors in the Russian planners of socialist centralized economy in the twentieth century. ![]() Marx’s view of capital shows several fundist characteristics in line with the classical economists preceding him. In this respect, Hicks’ distinction of capital theoreticians between “fundists” and “materialists” is useful. Thus, this article discusses Marx’s critical reception of his predecessors and the investigation after him. Its aim is to identify the position of Marx’s theory of capital in the history of economics. This was originally written in mid-2018 to celebrate the 200-year anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is no accident that scholars have dubbed the spare, simple Gothic architecture of the 13th century 'Early English', epitomised by Salisbury Cathedral, largely built between 12. But despite Frenchness of manners and names, English barons became increasingly conscious of their Englishness, which they declared in anti-foreign attitudes which focused on immigrant courtiers. Henry III's reign witnessed many closer links with France, where Louis IX (St Louis) was his brother-in-law.įrench culture was echoed in Britain, especially in Gothic architecture. By the Treaty of Paris (1259) he admitted failure and secured remote Gascony by giving up claims to lands in northern France, including iconic Normandy. ![]() His half-hearted campaigns in France were unsuccessful in regaining lands lost by his father, John. ![]() Henry III (1216 - 1272) was not a soldierly king. Population continued to rise in the 1200s, primogeniture became more established and there were many younger warrior sons looking for lands and glory. John's loss of French lands soon after 1200 also made England more inward-looking and frustrated. ![]() ![]() A lot of YA fantasy is built on an unusual or complex social structure. There isn’t a ton of subtlety in terms of the wall being used to reinforce and represent institutionalized poverty, but I understood the structure of Medio’s caste system and wasn’t especially bothered by it. It sounds like this might be a timely subject. Those in the central capital are disproportionally wealthy and have a vested interest in staying that way. The closer you live to the wall, the deeper in poverty you live. A wall was built keeping the most impoverished out of Medio. ![]() ![]() Mythology holds that two brother gods warred over a woman, and as a result those closest to the sea (and that respective god) were cursed with barren lands and oceans. The county of Medio is starkly aligned by class. ![]() I devoured it and then made sad animal whining sounds when I finished because the sequel isn’t out yet. It’s completely gripping, the world-building is excellent, and as a dystopian future, it feels alarmingly possible. It’s a YA novel about two women who are placed in competing positions inside a toxic patriarchy, then say “fuck that noise,” fall in love with each other, and help foment rebellion. ![]() I know we’re not especially far into 2019 yet, but We Set the Dark on Fire is hands down my favorite book of the year so far.
