ITEM OVERVIEW
Published six years before her death in 1919, this is her magnum opus. Taking Marx as her starting point, she offers an independent and fiercely critical explanation of the economic and political consequences of capitalism in the context of the turbulent times in which she lives, reinterpreting events in the United States, Europe, China, Russia, and the British Empire.
"The Accumulation Of Capital is arguably the most important advance on Marx's political economy to date. Written by a working class revolutionary leader who begins by critically analyzing Marx's draft Volume 2 of Capital and ends by relating to militarism, Luxemburg develops a theoretical foundation for the global drive and structural crisis of capitalism. Although opposed by contemporaries Lenin and Bukharin, her book has passed historical test and can be avoided only at our peril." —Paul Zarembka
