This book seeks to establish a constructive and useful interaction
between empirical data and research methods, on the one hand, and
Marxist theory and analysis, on the other. It shows that it is
possible to operationalise Marxist concepts either by using
orthodox data and reinterpreting it, or by constructing data which
are more congruent with Marxist notions. The contributions deal
with a wide range of theoretical, methodological and policy-related
issues. Among the substantive issues discussed are unemployment and
structural change, uneven development and industrial restructuring,
and the financial sector.
Quantitative Marxism will be of interest to students and academics in economics and political economy, as well as to a broader audience interested in contemporary social and economic policy.
