- Аннотация: ABSTRACT: The starting-point for the book is its chapter on methodology. Found here are not only critiques of conventional Soviet “Marxism-Leninism” and post-modernism, but also a new rethinking of the classic dialectic.For the most part, however, the book focuses on revealing the new quality now assumed by commodities, money and capital within the global economy.The market has become not only global, but a totalitarian force that is not a “socially neutral mechanism of coordination”. It is now a product of the hegemony of corporate capital, featuring the growth of new types of commodity – information, simulacra and so forth. The book demonstrates the new qualities acquired by value, use-value, price and commodity fetishism within this new market, while exploring the contradictions of non-limited resources (such as knowledge) and the commodity form of their existence.Money is now a virtual product of fictitious financial capital, possessing a new nature, contradictions and functions. This analysis of the new nature of money helps to reveal the essence of so-called financialisation. Capital has become the result of a complex system of exploitation. In the twenty-first century context this exploitation includes the “classic” extraction of surplus value from industrial workers combined with internal corporate redistribution of income by “insiders”; international exploitation; and the exploitation of creative labour through the expropriation of intellectual rent. SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK: How would Marx have understood twenty-first-century capitalism? For Buzgalin and Kolganov, the answer lies in a theoretical investigation of how and why the fundamental elements of capitalism- commodities, money and capital - have changed since the publication of Marx's Capital more than 150 years ago.Introducing the concepts of social creativity, markets for simulacra and virtual fictitious capital - Buzgalin and Kolganov offer a recovery and development of Marx's understanding of social transformations. Twenty-first century capitalism not only demonstrates Marxism's relevance to the core economic questions of our time and its superiority over neoclassical economics, but it leads English-language readers into the 'undiscovered country' of Soviet and post-Soviet critical Marxism.How might modern Marxism respond to the contemporary challenges of the commodification of knowledge and information? And can it arrive at something resembling a Capital for the twenty-first century? This accessible and comprehensive account is essential reading for those wanting to understand the problems of the modern economy.KEYWORDS: Dialectic; Ilyenkov; Soviet and Post-Soviet Marxism; market of the XXI century; ‘Capital’ of the XXI century; virtual financial capital; creative labour; intellectual rent.Reviews are available at the publisher's site: https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526131454/
