In recent months, I have been working on a tricky topic for
Marxist analysis: how to understand the role of finance in contemporary
imperialism. Most coverage of this topic in Marxist and other radical
literature gives more or less journalistic details of creditor-debtor rip offs
and financial crises. There has been little serious attempt to develop Marx’s
law of value in a way that can explain the underlying role of the financial
system for the two major financial powers: the US and the UK.
I believe that I have made good progress in explaining this, and
I will present some results of my latest analysis at a conference of the
AHE/FAPE//IIPPE in Paris on Saturday 7 July - THE TIME HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED TO 11.30 - 1.30pm, Room C1306.
The full conference is
scheduled from 5 to 7 July. If you are going too (it is a big conference, so
this is not as ridiculous a question as it may seem!), then I look forward to discussing
with and meeting some of the readers of this blog.
