Marx the economist is alive and relevant today … Marx has been reassessed, revised,
refuted and buried a thousand times but he refuses to be relegated to intellectual history. For
better or for worse, his ideas have become part of the climate of opinion within which we
all think … (I)t is a dull mind that fails to be inspired by Marx’s heroic attempt to project a
systematic general account of the ‘laws of motion’ of capitalism.
(Blaug 1997 , p. 215)
Marx theoretical starting point in economics was the labour theory of value, developed
by the classics, notably Smith and Ricardo (Smith held an ambiguous value theory
34 ). According to Marx, the value of any good is determined by the amount of
labour embodied in the productive process, measured in time; more complex, diffi -
cult or hard work can be measured as a multiple of the abstract unit “labour”, defi ned
as the average necessary social time to produce a unit of a specifi c output. This
elementary so-called reduction problem had been analyzed only in passing by Marx.
The exploitation of labour takes place in that the capitalists pay the workers only a
subsistence wage even though the workers produced output that was worth much
more than their wages. In contrast to Ricardo, Marx did not hold an absolute subsistence
theory of wages, but a subsistence theory modifi ed by the prevailing cultural
standards and habits (of clothing, housing, etc.). This more realistic approach
implies the problem of indeterminacy of the value determination (Burchardt 1997 ,
pp. 141 ff.) because the exchange value of the commodity labour now depends on
historical, moral and bargaining strength – that is, non-objective and in the strict
sense non-economic – factors.
Conclusion: Recent Contributions and Relevance
of Marxist Thought Today
One line of development of Marxist thought naturally depended on the Russian
revolution in 1917 and the transition from the civil war to a superpower. Lenin
(1870–1924) was the main theorist in this period. This more dogmatic-deterministic
interpretation of Marx found its culmination in Stalin’s (and in China in Mao Tse
Tung’s) writings. Besides the codifi cation of dogmatic Marxism, 46 there were also
relevant debates on how to organize the society and economy in a new socialist
country, how should for example the fi nancial, human and natural resources be
invested and divided among consumption and investment, etc. 47
Another debate took place in the confi nes and strategies of European social
democracy. In Germany, it was a long way from voluntaristic Marxism under prohibition
to Kautsky’s and later Bernstein’s revisionism, 48 to the Godesberger program
in the 1950s and diverse third ways at present.
See the “century report” by the realistically enlightened Marxist Hobsbawm ( 1995 ) .
46 As mentioned, the dogmatic aspect is already an undercurrent in Marx himself. It cannot be
denied that dogmatic Marxism – besides the underdevelopment of Russia and the hostile environment
after the revolution – is essentially responsible for the atrocities in the former communist
countries. See Amalrik ( 1970 ) and Courtois ( 1998 ) , the literary account by Köstler ( 1941 ) , and the
recent description of life under and after state communism by Bednarz ( 1998 ) .
47 See the reconstruction of the debates and practical policies pursued in Elleinstein ( 1975 ) , for the
mostly unknown internal communist but heterodox debates see Wolter ( 1976 ) .
48 As one of the examples for a further theoretical development see Hilderding ( 1947 ) .
