Book Overview

As John Roemer says in his introduction to this volume, 'During the past decade, what now appears as a new species in social theory has been forming: analytically sophisticated Marxism. Its practitioners are largely inspired by Marxian questions which they pursue with contemporary tools of logic, mathematics, and model building … These writers are, self-consciously, products of both the Marxian and non-Marxian traditions.' This volume assembles substantial and original essays, both published and unpublished, by some of the leading practitioners of 'analytical Marxism'. The essays discuss a number of the fundamental issues of Marxian thought as well as questions that conventional Marxists see no need to raise. They exemplify the ways in which analytical Marxists are beginning to reinvigorate the Marxian tradition and, in doing so, to break down the barriers that have divided it from other forms of social theory. The volume will make an excellent textbook and an ideal introduction to this new approach.

My favorite "Nora" book!

Nora finds a little duck in the woods and takes it to her friend, DR.John, a retired doctor who now runs an animal sancuary. Dr. John tells her that the duck will be fine after a little rest. He then takes Nora on a tour of the grounds and introduces her to other animals that have come to be in his care. Later in the afternoon they check on Nora's duck and sure enough it is better. Nora introduces the duck to Dr. John's other guests before returning it to the pond where it rejoins its mother and siblings. This is the most heart-warming of the Nora books and the fact that there really IS a Dr. John makes the story that much more special! The book is out-of-print now but it is well worth an o.p. book search to add this gem to your Nora collection.
