Reinventing Marxism

The collapse of the Soviet Union provides economist Howard Sherman the opportunity to re-evaluate Marxism as an alternative to conventional pro-capitalist perspectives. Arguing that Soviet Marxism distorted Marxian thought Sherman acknowledges that Marxism must move beyond its traditional Soviet formulation. What is needed he writes is a new critical Marxism that is integral to a radical political economy-a Marxism that sees society as an organic whole dependent upon an integrated set of relationships.
