Capitalism, Socialism, and Radical Political Economy: Essays in Honor of Howard J. Sherman

By Robert Pollin

This volume of essays reflects the lifelong concerns and writings of the person they honor, Professor Howard Sherman. Sherman wrote on topics ranging from: the causes of recessions, depressions and mass unemployment under capitalism; the realities of economic life in the United States, the Soviet Union and elsewhere; to the theoretical traditions he drew upon to inform these empirical studies, especially Marxism. The contributors follow in Sherman's tradition in their analysis of topics which aim to demonstrate the continued relevance of radical political economy as a mode of social scientific analysis.
