Features: Rosa Luxemburg's The Accumulation of Capital is not only a classic work of Marxist economics but also a foundational text of world-system theory. With over 50 years of in-depth research, Professor Chen Qiren of Fudan University, a distinguished professor and doctoral supervisor, traces the origins and developments, connecting classical economics, vulgar economics, Marxist economics, the German Historical School, and ultimately to Wallerstein's world-system theory. He critically evaluates the strengths and weaknesses, offering insightful and profound perspectives, making this a rare and exceptional theoretical work.
