Description:
Marx in the Field is a unique edited collection illustrating the relevance of Marxian methods to study contemporary capitalism and the global development process. Essays in the collection bring Marx 'to the field' in three ways. They illustrate how Marxian categories can be concretely deployed for field research in the global economy, they analyse how these categories may be adapted during fieldwork and they discuss data collection methods supporting Marxian analysis, including during COVID-19 times.
Review Quotes:
"Application of Marxian methods to analyse concrete realities has a long and illustrious history. In this thought provoking collection of essays, edited by Alessandra Mezzadri, the subject is revisited, exploring the richness of approaches, tools, concepts, categories and the like, in their 'field' contexts. It is essential reading in grounded political economy, cutting across disciplinary boundaries, to celebrate the richness and complexity of Marxian methods, and thus a remarkable tribute to the genius of Marx as well." --Praveen Jha, Professor of Economics, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India
