A presente resenha tem como objetivo abordar o capítulo XXIV, do livro I, volume II, de <em>O Capital</em>, de Karl Marx. Entendemos que não é uma tarefa fácil, porém diante da atual conjuntura, cabe-nos compreender <em>O segredo da acumulação primitiva</em>. Ressaltamos, que já no capítulo XXIII <em>A lei geral da acumulação primitiva, </em>Marx expõe como se desenvolveu o processo de acumulação no modo de produção capitalista, a partir da centralização e concentração da riqueza.
The republication of Karl Korsch's Karl Marx (1938) makes available to a new generation of readers the most concise account of Karl Marx's thought by one of the major figures of twentieth-century Western Marxism. Originally written for publication in a series on 'Modern Sociologists', Korsch's book sought to bring Marx's work to life for an audience of non-specialist readers. As Michael Buckmiller writes in his new introduction to the work, Korsch wanted his book to serve as a passport into the non-dogmatic sections of the American labour movement. The result is a bracing, concise, and accessible overview of the entirety of Marx's thought, and a pungent history of 'Marxism' itself.
AbstractToday, Karl Kautsky (1854–1938) is mainly remembered for his polemics against the young Bolshevik regime or as the 'renegade' in Lenin'sThe Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky(1918), which pillories him for his wavering stance in opposing World War I and his (later) outright hostility to the Russian Revolution of October 1917. Kautsky's authority as a Marxist theoretician was seriously called into question ever since Lenin's polemic. During the Cold War in particular, a consensus emerged which suggested that Kautsky's views of democracy, organisation and revolutionary change had little or nothing to do with the political practice of Russian Bolshevism and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Recently, however, several studies have challenged this consensus. They highlight the profound impact which Kautsky had on the development of Russian Bolshevism and make the case that – prior to his renegacy in 1914 – thinkers such as Lenin and Trotsky viewed Kautsky as the legitimate intellectual heir of Marx and Engels. This article introduces an autobiographical essay written by Kautsky in 1924 and calls for closer engagement with his œuvre as a whole.

Der Autor belegt in seinem Artikel die Aktualität des ökonomischen Denkens von Karl Marx, indem er dessen Erklärungen und Visionen auf jüngste polit-ökonomische Ereignisse bezieht. Dazu wurde das Verhältnis der Marx'schen Ökonomie zur neoklassischen Harmonielehre, zu den Monetaristen, Neo-Malthusianern und Neo-Ricardianern aufgezeigt, dargelegt, daß der Fortschritts- und Wissenschaftsglaube des ökonomischen Marxismus berechtigt ist und in der Darstellung der Marx'schen Konjunkturtheorien die Reaktualisierung Marx'scher Sicht aufgezeigt. Die Relevanz des Marx'schen Werks heute sieht der Autor im wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Informationswert der ökonomischen Arbeiten und im Ansatz zum Nachweis grundsätzlicher Instabilität des Kapitalismus. Entscheidend aber ist nach Meinung des Autors die Erkenntnis, daß Ökonomie sich nicht nur mit der "Interpretation von statisch-dynamischen Abläufen bei konstantem Datenkranz" begnügen kann, sondern das gesamte institutionelle Gefüge der Gesellschaft mit einbeziehen muß. Die Erkenntnis erhält ihre aktuelle Relevanz in der gegenwärtigen Weltrezession. (AG)
