"Marxist" gen...Doesn't follow, Matt.<br /><br />"Marxist" generally implies dogmatist. Marxian implies recognizing that the context has changed over time and that a lot has been learned since Marx and Engles wrote, and identifying what is useful today.<br /><br />The classical economists inducing Marx were working in a very different social, political, and economic context than applies now. This doesn't mean that they can be ignored, as conventional economics assumes, unless it is useful to them, and even then they misread what the original texts say.<br /><br />Summing it up, Marx held that economics is socially embedded, hence historically conditioned, whereas conventional economics says that the "laws" of economics are timeless and universal because they are an expression of human nature, which doesn't change.<br /><br />These are two entirely different ways of approaching the world methodologically. Marx's insight into embeddedness, added to by Max Weber and Emile von Durkheim, out of which economic sociology and anthropology developed, produced many views on social embeddedness, from Marxist, to Marxian, to Veblen and institutionalists, to Polanyi, etc.<br /><br />When I say that I am a "Marxian," I don't mean that I follow Marx exclusively or think that times have not changed and that conditions are different now. Marx included that in his account.<br /><br />I post all the various links I do on account of social/political embeddedness, which conventional economics and its conventional application to political economy doesn't.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-855630698738955042018-05-29T08:05:50.625-04:002018-05-29T08:05:50.625-04:00Tom this is what you are doing:
