_Reclaiming Marx's "Capital"_ will be available for purchase for $22 (18% off the list price of $26.95).
Written especially for the non-specialist reader, with minimal math, _Reclaiming Marx's "Capital"_ seeks to reclaim _Capital_ from the myth of inconsistency, a myth that serves to justify the censorship of Marx's critique of political economy and present-day research based on it. Kliman shows that the alleged inconsistencies are actually caused by misinterpretation.
Praise for _Reclaiming Marx's "Capital"_:
=========================================
"A tremendously powerful refutation of all those smart ass economist dude arguments that 'Marx is inconsistent.'" -- Glenn Rikowski, educational theorist
"Returns Marx's own work to centre stage. An important unifying work, rather than just another divisive personal opinion." -- Nick Potts, Southampton Solent U.
"Sorts out a bewildering tangle of approaches and issues in order to demonstrate that the charge of internal inconsistency is false." --Thomas Jeannot, Philosophy, Gonzaga U.
"Kliman demonstrates that the Marxist theory can by all means be *interpreted* in a way that avoids the purported inconsistencies." -- Wolfgang Fritz Haug, _Das Argument_
"He has stripped away the obfuscations of the neo-Ricardians. Marx did not make theoretical errors (at least in the areas that the critics have claimed)." -- Michael Roberts, marxist.com economics columnist
"A strong case to be considered the most compelling and consistent interpretation of _Capital_." -- Joseph Choonara, _International Socialism_ journal
"Someone has finally rescued Marx from the Marxists." -- Alan Freeman, U. of Greenwich
"I was impressed with Kliman's refutation of the Okishio theorem. I didn't think that was possible." -- Robert Vienneau, "Thoughts on Economics" blog
"Kliman's answers make sense. They convince me that much of what passes as Marxist economics is deeply flawed." -- Sam Friedman, amazon.com review
