    Utopia and value theory

    Originally published: Progress in Political Economy on May 24, 2018 (more by Progress in Political Economy)  |

    The political economy of space and time in Eduardo Galeano

    Originally published: Progress in Political Economy on February 20, 2018 by Anitra Nelson (more by Progress in Political Economy)  | (Posted Mar 02, 2018)

    Uruguyan novelist and historian Eduardo Galeano (1940–2015) wrote more than 40 books. Monthly Review lauded his creative non-fiction Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent (1973[1971]) as ‘outstanding political economy … and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx’.

    Silvia Federici, ‘Caliban and the Witch’

    Originally published: Progress in Political Economy on November 6, 2017 by Natasha Heenan (more by Progress in Political Economy)  | (Posted Nov 13, 2017)

    Caliban and the Witch is a reminder that it is the task of feminists and Marxists alike to demand that the sphere of reproduction and continuing forms of colonialism be seen as key sources of value for capitalism and therefore as key sites of struggle against it.
