Socialism in Marx’s Capital

Paresh Chattopadhyay is Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at the University of Quebec, Canada. He was Visiting Professor at the University of Paris and University of Grenoble, a guest researcher at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, and a Fellow at the Berlin Institute for Critical Theory (InkriT). He is the author of The Marxian Concept of Capital and the Soviet Experience (1994), Marx’s Associated Mode of Production (2016), and Socialism and Commodity Production (2018).

“Socialism in Marx’s Capital: Towards a Dealienated World appears as a promising and unusual attempt, since it aims to expound on Marx’s ideas on socialism by appealing to his Capital. Chattopadhyay’s primary motivation in the book is deducing the material foundations and features of the socialist society from Capital.” (‪Görkem Giray, Marx and Philosophy, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, May 11, 2022)
