Marx’s critical political economy, ‘Marxist economics’ and actually occurring revolutions against capitalism
Abstract
Most revolutions against capitalism have occurred in ‘backward’ and Third World societies, and they have divided and disarrayed Marxisms in the West. One key reason, this paper argues, is intellectual. When, long ago, Marxists surrendered to the bourgeois challenge to Marx – neoclassical economics – developing, in place of Marx’s critical political economy, a ‘Marxist economics’, they lost touch with Marx’s analysis of capitalism as contradictory value production. That analysis could illuminate how capitalism’s contradictions drive its imperialist expansionism and how and why resistance to it must, equally necessarily, take national forms. As a result, major currents of Marxism in the West either have paid attention to imperialism and anti-imperialist resistance but without Marx’s analysis of capitalism as contradictory value production or have insisted that their (mistaken) conception of Marx’s analysis implies that capitalism has no necessary connection with imperialism. Neither tradition can actually develop Marxism to comprehend the actual historical record of revolutions since Marx’s time. Neither can inform new mobilisations against capitalism, whether in or outside its homelands. It is high time we return to Marx’s analysis of capitalism as value production and develop it.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Desai argues that major Western Marxist currents abandoned Marx’s critical political economy for a “Marxist economics” shaped by neoclassical economics, leaving them unable to theorize imperialism, nations, and actually occurring revolutions against capitalism. She calls for returning to Marx’s analysis of capitalism as contradictory value production to understand anti-imperialist and national struggles.
Key findings
- The paper contends that neoclassical economics was an apologetic counterrevolution against classical political economy and Marx, listing antitheses such as production versus consumption/exchange, labour value versus utility, historical versus ahistorical method, and society as a whole versus a detached “economy.”
- It argues that “Marxist economics” emerged through a “policy of theoretical conciliation” associated with Tugan-Baranovsky and adopted false problems: the “transformation problem,” denial of capitalism’s demand problem, and rejection of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall (TRPF).
- It distinguishes “Smithian”/Monthly Review eclecticism, which kept imperialism politically important but abandoned Marx’s value analysis, from “Political Marxism”/Ricardian Marxism, which denied any necessary relation between capitalism and imperialism and neglected nations.
- It claims Lenin’s recognition of national revolutions against imperialism and the 1920 Comintern turn reflected the actual anti-imperialist dynamic, while Western Marxism divided over successful revolutions from Russia and China through Third World national and social revolutions to Venezuela today.
Methods
- Theoretical and historical essay in critical political economy; no empirical dataset, formal model, or quantitative analysis is presented.
- The analysis is a conceptual and historiographical critique of Marxist currents and texts, including Marx, classical political economy, neoclassical marginalism, Hilferding, Bukharin, Luxemburg, Lenin, Tugan-Baranovsky, Sweezy, Brenner, Mandel, and the Temporal Single System Interpretation (TSSI).
- The main argument is developed through textual interpretation and intellectual history, advocating a return to Marx’s value analysis and a geopolitical-economy approach to imperialism and national anti-imperialism.
Limitations
- The paper states in the acknowledgements that “length limitations prevented me from taking all of them on board” regarding comments from colleagues and referees.
- It also states that no part of the paper suggests wholesale rejection of the writers criticised; the issue is how neoclassical economics skewed their work.
- Evident from the text: the argument is an interpretive intellectual history rather than an empirical test, and it relies on selected theorists and currents to make its case.

“Marx resolved classical political economy's key problems and antinomies. He identified the source of surplus value by distinguishing labour and labour power. He operationalised the law of value by showing how competition pushed values down to their 'socially necessary' level. And he resolved Ricardo's difficulties with labour values, differing proportions of labour and capital and equal profit”

“These were, of course, false problems: the transformation problem was Ricardo's, not Marx's; Marx insisted that 'The ultimate reason for all crises remains the poverty and restricted consumption of the masses' 31 ; and the case against the TRPF was a fallacy of composition since Marx had argued precisely that individual rationalities led, at the social level, to this perverse result. 32”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
