     Summary

Marxian ideas are alive and well explained in history, in philosophy and in sociology. Marxism is pre-eminently a theory of capitalism, and hence of an economic system in which production and distribution are organized by a generalized process of exchange. Marxian economics must provide a theory of how prices are determined, since prices are the signals which guide economic action in a market economy. Marxian analysis forges coherent links between economics, history, sociology and philosophy, the unique scale of the enterprise being its enduring strength. These essays provide fascinating insights into the lively debates on the foundation of the entire structure, Marxian Economies.
