- Rethinking Marxism
"Rethinking Marxism" is a
Marxist quarterly journal of economics, culture and society. It was launched in1988 and since2003 (Volume 15) it has been published byTaylor and Francis .Founded mainly by the professors and graduate students of the Department of Economics at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst , the first issue of "Rethinking Marxism" appeared in 1988, just before the dissolution of theSoviet Union began. The journal quickly became an influential academic platform forAlthusserian Marxism in the North American context.Even though the journal is launched by a group of economists (among others,
Stephen Resnick ,Richard D. Wolff ,Jack Amariglio ,David Ruccio ) and continues to regularly publish articles in the various sub-fields ofMarxian economics , suchlabor theory of value ,class analysis , andcrisis theory , "Rethinking Marxism" does not have an exclusive economics focus. It is perhaps better to describe it as a journal ofMarxian theory that makes it a point to rethink and develop Marxian analyses ofcapitalism ,imperialism and alternatives to capitalism."Rethinking Marxism" is also well-known for its sustained efforts to showcase
contemporary art practices. Each issue of the journal presents an original work by a contemporary artist (e.g.,Martha Rosler ,Mark Lombardi ).From 1989 to 1998, the editor of the journal was
Jack Amariglio . Since then,David Ruccio serves as the editor of "Rethinking Marxism".External links
