What is Analytical Marxism?

https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2007-9-121-138

Abstract

The paper written by a famous sociologist, one of the main advocates of analytical Marxism, analyzes this school of social and economic thought which emerged in the end of the 1970s. The author briefly outlines the history of analytical Marxism and explicates its distinctive characteristics which distinguish it from both neoclassical tradition and different heterodox schools of thought. The paper also shows the connections between analytical Marxism and Marxist theory. The author discusses modern interpretations of Marx’s conceptions and the influence of analytical Marxism on contemporary social and economic thought.
