After abandoning my earlier interest in the neoclassical theory of money and its application to international economics, I concentrated on a reformulation of Marx’s economic theory (as propounded in Capital) according to the method of the late Professor Kozo Uno. The reformulation (see my Dialectic of Capital) involves, in addition to some expository modernisation, a reassertion of the structural correspondence between the economic theory of capitalism and Hegelian dialectical logic. More recently I have taken increasing interest in ‘political economy’ in the broader sense in which I include designs of a new society (presumably socialist) free from the alienation of labour and environmental crises.
I believe this to be the right direction in which to seek a paradigmic change in economic science.
