Views

My work began with an interest in the evolution of economic thought, not considered as an exercise in analysis, but as an aspect of intellectual history, and has continued in that vein. Gradually my focus of interest has shifted, however, from the ‘scenarios’ of the great economists to a consideration of the nature and logic of capitalism. This change in emphasis perhaps reflects my evolution from a naive Keynesian (graduated amid the early debates about the General Theory in 1940), through a second education in the classical economists, largely received at the hands of Adolph Lowe, my mentor at the New School, to a deep interest in Marx, the result of my exposure to the critical thought of students and colleagues during the last decade at the New School.

I now see my life career as an effort to come to grips with, make my peace with, and finally to venture beyond Marx. The degree to which I have succeeded is of course for others to say but the direction of my impetus should at least be made clear. I have always been interested in writing as clearly and nontechnically as possible in the belief that scholarly efforts should not preclude communication with other educated readers.
