_Historical Materialism_ published forums on both Harvey's and Meiksins Wood's works on imperialism, and each forum contains an exchange between Meiksins Wood & Harvey. I think those exchanges are a useful perspective on the points made in the blog review of Harvey. Better yet of course are Meiksins Wood's own two volumes on the specificity of capitalism -- Empire of Capital and Origin of Capitalism: A Longer View.

Fortunately, the recently published Heinrich introduction does address these issues. It is also properly lucid and cogent providing an overview of all three volumes of Capital in half of the space it takes Harvey to give an overview of volume 1. If I had my say it would become the go to guide not only for people who are trying to understand Capital, but for a number of people who think they already understand Capital." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
