全球化寡头垄断的出现，不可能消除资本主义竞争，因为竞争和垄断永远是相伴随的，竞争就是你死我活的斗争，就是不断地攫取垄断地位；没有一定的垄断地位，资本家也绝不可能去参与竞争。
在全球化垄断资本主义时期，金融资本和产业资本已经融合为一，起决定性作用的不再是产业资本，而是金融资本；在这个历史阶段，金融寡头统治一切，形成了食利者阶层（即金融资本家）和食利国。当今世界，美元的统治地位使美国成为世界上最大的食利国。
（1910年）在这4个国家中有两个是最老的、殖民地最多的资本主义国家——英国和法国，其余两个是在发展速度上和资本主义垄断组织在生产中的普及程度上领先的资本主义国家——美国和德国。这4个国家一共有4790亿法郎，约占全世界金融资本的80％。世界上其他各国，差不多都是这样或那样地成为这4个国家、这4个国际银行家、这4个世界金融资本的“台柱”的债务人和进贡者了。
1900年6月7日，德国最大的工业家和‘金融大王’之一西门子，在德国国会中声称‘一英镑的股票是不列颠帝国主义的基础’”。

《马克思为什么是对的》讲述了：在全球化的背景下，资本主义内部的各种痼疾纷纷显露。从城乡差距、贫富不均到经济掠夺问题，加上全球霸权在金融海啸中显露的腐败，种种迹象显示，让整个世界重新认识、反思马克思主义的契机正在显现。作为一位坚定的马克思主义者，作者特里•伊格尔顿希望厘清人们对马克思主义的错误认识。该书通过大量实证内容反驳了世人对马克思主义的错误认识，进一步阐明了在马克思主义理论指导下运作市场经济体系的可行性，同时还为马克思主义与可持续发展观找到了一个极佳的契合点，对当下的经济建设工作有着深远且具操作性的指导意义。

In this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes issue with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism - that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on - he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shaken to its roots by some major crises, "Why Marx Was Right" is as urgent and timely as it is brave and candid. Written with Eagleton's familiar wit, humour and clarity, it will attract an audience far beyond the confines of academia.

可以说，有一个大观念贯穿着这四个讲演。这一观念就是，马克思主义根本上属于欧洲政治和社会理论的主流传统……马克思思想具有潜在的统一性……在一个更深且历史范围更广的层面上，它表明从最早的源头上就镶嵌在欧洲思想里的两种基本视角完成了统一；两种视角走到一起，这本身就是对现代性的本质定义。
这里所称的我们传统的两种根本视角，是经由很多源泉“蒸馏”的过程得来的结晶……一方面，这里提出欧洲政治和社会理论包含一种超越的传统……另一方面，我们的文化包含一种理解的传统，以及一种主要来自唯物主义及现实主义之古代哲学的冷静的、“科学的”观点……
马克思主义的“诞生”现在也许可以越来越清楚和显著地看出来，它的“诞生”恰恰是西方政治和社会理论的历史中非常重要的一章。马克思主义并不是从真空中出现的，它也没有走进死胡同。马克思留下了他的痕迹。

First published in 1978, this book rapidly established itself as a classic of modern Marxism. Cohen's masterful application of advanced philosophical techniques in an uncompromising defense of historical materialism commanded widespread admiration. In the ensuing twenty years, this book has served as a flagship of a powerful intellectual movement - analytical Marxism. In this expanded edition, Cohen offers his own account of the history, and the further promise, of analytical Marxism. He also expresses reservations about traditional historical materialism, in the light of which he reconstructs the theory, and he studies the implications for historical materialism of the demise of the Soviet Union.

This work presents G.A. Cohen's Gifford Lectures, delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 1996. Focusing on Marxism and Rawlsian liberalism, Cohen draws a connection between these thought systems and the choices that shape a person's life. In the case of Marxism, the relevant life is his own: a communist upbringing in the 1940s in Montreal, which induced a belief in a strongly socialist egalitarian doctrine. The narrative of Cohen's reckoning with that inheritance develops through a series of sophisticated engagements with the central questions of social and political philosophy. In the case of Rawlsian doctrine, Cohen looks to people's lives in general. He argues that egalitarian justice is not only, as Rawlsian liberalism teaches, a matter of rules that define the structure of society, but also a matter of personal attitude and choice. Personal attitude and choice are, moreover, the stuff of which social structure itself is made. Those truths have not informed political philosophy as much as they would, and Cohen's focus on them brings political philosophy closer to moral philosophy, and to the Judeo-Christian ethical tradition, than it has recently been.

Defenders of capitalism claim that its inequality is the necessary price of the freedom that it guarantees. In that defense of capitalist inequality, freedom is self-ownership, the right of each person to do as he wishes with himself. The author shows that self-ownership fails to deliver the freedom it promises to secure. He thereby undermines the idea that lovers of freedom should embrace capitalism and the inequality that comes with it. In the final chapter he reaffirms the moral superiority of socialism, against the background of the disastrous Soviet experiment.

In this stimulating work of political philosophy, acclaimed philosopher G. A. Cohen sets out to rescue the egalitarian thesis that in a society in which distributive justice prevails, people's material prospects are roughly equal. Arguing against the Rawlsian version of a just society, Cohen demonstrates that distributive justice does not tolerate deep inequality.In the course of providing a deep and sophisticated critique of Rawls' theory of justice, Cohen demonstrates that questions of distributive justice arise not only for the state but also for people in their daily lives. The right rules for the macro scale of public institutions and policies also apply, with suitable adjustments, to the micro level of individual decision-making.Cohen also charges Rawls' constructivism with systematically conflating the concept of justice with other concepts. Within the Rawlsian architectonic, justice is not distinguished either from other values or from optimal rules of social regulation. The elimination of those conflations brings justice closer to equality.

This widely acclaimed book, first published in 1974, was a classic from its first day in print. Written in a direct, inviting way by Harry Braverman, whose years as an industrial worker gave him rich personal insight into work, Labor and Monopoly Capital overturned the reigning ideologies of academic sociology.
This new edition features an introduction by John Bellamy Foster that sets the work in historical and theoretical context, as well as two rare articles by Braverman, "The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century" (1975) and "Two Comments" (1976), that add much to our understanding of the book.

"Stafford Beer is undoubtedly among the world's most provocative, creative, and profound thinkers on the subject of management, and he records his thinking with a flair that is unmatched. His writing is as much art as it is science. He is the most viable system I know." Dr Russell L Ackoff, The Institute for Interactive Management, Pennsylvania, USA. "If . anyone can make it [Operations Research] understandably readable and positively interesting it is Stafford Beer . everyone in management . should be grateful to him for using clear and at times elegant English and . even elegant diagrams." The Economist This is the second edition of a book which has already become a management 'standard' both in universities and on the bookshelves of managers and their advisers. Brain of the Firm develops an account of the firm based upon insights derived from the study of the human nervous system, and is a basic text from the author's theory of viable systems. Despite the neurophysiology, the book is written for managers to understand. The companion volume to this book is The Heart of Enterprise, which is intended to support and complement this text. "Stafford Beer's works represent required reading for everyone who believes that a capacity for rigorous thinking is an essential attribute of today's successful managers and administrators. Brain of the Firm shows a first-rate intellect at work and provides concepts, models and inspiration for both practitioners and teachers." Sir Douglas Hague, CBE

Marx's Capital is one of the most important texts of the modern era. The three volumes, published between 1867 and 1883, changed the destiny of countries, politics and people across the world - and continue to resonate today. In this book, David Harvey lays out their key arguments.
In clear and concise language, Harvey describes the architecture of capital according to Marx, placing his observations in the context of capitalism in the second half of the nineteenth century. He considers the degree to which technological, economic and industrial change during the last 150 years means Marx's analysis and its application may need to be modified.
Marx's trilogy concerns the circulation of capital: volume I, how labour increases the value of capital, which he called valorisation; volume II, on the realisation of this value, by selling it and turning it into money or credit; volume III, on what happens to the value next in processes of distribution.
The three volumes contain the core of Marx's thinking on the workings and history of capital and capitalism. David Harvey explains and illustrates the profound insights and enormous analytical power they continue to offer in terms that, without compromising their depth and complexity, will appeal to a wide range of readers, including those coming to the work for the first time.
