Author: M. C. Howard File Type: pdf Follows on from the first volume which dealt with the period from the death of Marx in 1883 to 1929. From 1930 onmwards the emphasis for theoretical analysis began to shift westwards, so that in the post-war era the heartland of Marxian political economy lay in Western Europe and North America. New problems also arose in this period, and elements of Marxs economics which had earlier received scant attention were elavated to greater prominance. Also after 1929 theoretical developments in Marxian economics became detached from successful revolutionary practice. 1929 was a year of considerable promise for Marxism. In the East, Stalin secured the seizure of power in 1917 by carrying through a revolution from above which created a new mode of production, rapidly accelerated economic development, and gave birth to a new orthodoxy. In the West, the onset of the Great Depression promised the economic collapse of capitalism and the ending of Soviet isolation. A History of Marxian Economics Volume 2, 1929-1990 takes an overview of Marxian economics, outlining the most significant innovations, the incorporation of Keynesian theory into Marxism, as well as tackling the new theories of Imperialism and ending with an analysis of current controversies in economics and their links to a Marxist theory.

Author: Ryan King-Whit File Type: pdf College students are now regarded as consumers, not students, and nowhere is the growth and exploitation of the university more obvious than in the realm of college sports, where the evidence is in the stadiums built with corporate money, and the crowded sporting events sponsored by large conglomerates. The contributors to Sport and the Neoliberal University examine how intercollegiate athletics became a contested terrain of publicprivate interests. They look at college sports from economic, social, legal, and cultural perspectives to cut through popular mythologies regarding intercollegiate athletics and to advocate for increased clarity about what is going on at a variety of campuses with regard to athletics. Focusing on current issues, including the NCAA, Title IX, recruitment of high school athletes, and the Penn State scandal, among others, Sport and the Neoliberal University shows the different ways institutions, individuals, and corporations are interacting with university athletics in ways that are profoundly shaped by neoliberal ideologies. **Review In this series of revealing case studies, the political and economic forces that shape problems ranging from sexual violence to athlete recruitment are laid bare. A must-read for scholars and activists seeking to address the injustices ofsport in the neoliberal university.
