This collection brings together leading economists from around the world to explore key issues in economic analysis and the history of economic thought. This book deals with important themes in economics in terms of an approach that has its roots in the works of the classical economists from Adam Smith to David Ricardo. The chapters have been inspired by the work of Neri Salvadori, who has made key contributions in various areas including the theory of production, the theory of value and distribution, the theory of economic growth, as well as the theory of renewable and deplorable natural resources. The main themes in this book include production, value and distribution; endogenous economic growth; renewable and exhaustible natural resources; capital and profits; oligopolistic competition; effective demand and capacity utilization; financial regulation; and themes in the history of economic analysis. Several of the contributions are closely related to the works of Neri Salvadori.

Introduction

Hobsbawm has written that historians, while drawing a clear-cut distinction between Marxists and non-Marxists and concerning themselves preferably with the former, have actually widened this group through the inclusion of a large selection of authors. In point of fact, he argued, this distinction is necessary if we are to write a reliable history of Marxism (see Hobsbawm, 1979, 61). In our opinion, instead, the most shared opinion is that the line separating what is Marxist from what is not has been progressively blurred. Maxime Rodinson (1969, 9), for instance, has remarked that, despite the efforts of Marx and Marxists to prove previous philosophical systems wrong, it is far from easy to pinpoint what exactly distinguishes the Marxist approach, and some commentators trace this fact to the involvement of an increasing number of intellectuals in academic research on Marxism. Indeed, an attentive Marx commentator such as Rubel has gone so far as to deny the legitimacy of terms such as Marxian or Marxist (see Rubel, 1974, 2021).

With specific regard to their approach to the next social order, Marxists fall into two broad divisions: those who describe socialism as a command economy founded on planning and those who assume that the correct Marxian view of a socialist economy is one which equates socialism with self-management.

In this paper, we will be arguing that the establishment of a system of cooperative firms reversing the current capitallabour relation is tantamount to a revolution, in that it results in the introduction of a new production mode. Subsequently, we will raise the question: is the idea of a revolution enacted by peaceful and democratic means and in successive steps until worker-managed firms outnumber capitalistic companies fully compatible with the letter of Marx and Engelss writings? From our perspective, the prerequisite for such a revolution is a certain amount of support from the public hand, in terms that the State would have to look upon democratic firms as merit goods and make provision for tax and/or other benefits in their favour.

An additional query we deem worth exploring is whether a form of socialism established through State intervention would be compatible with Marxs and Engelss theorisations. Although the best proxy for the system imagined by Marx is doubtless an economy in which labour managed firms operate within a centrally planned system, we wish to argue that a system with self-managed firms would be consistent with Marxs theoretical edifice even though it should fail to adopt central planning.

A system of producer cooperatives as a new production mode

A great many market socialism models have been theorised over the past years; among them, the system with firms run by workers themselves the one with which we are concerned in this paper is both the simplest to prefigure and the most widely discussed. The question is: is such a system a new production mode? In the prevailing opinion the only way to evade the control of capital is to do away with it (see, for instance, Mszros, 1995, 981).
