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. Based on over 50 years of in-depth research, Chen Qiren, a distinguished professor and doctoral supervisor at Fudan University, traces the origins and developments of The Accumulation of Capital, connecting classical economics, vulgar economics, Marxist economics, the German Historical School, and finally to Wallerstein's world-system theory. He critically evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of these theories, offering insightful and profound perspectives, making this a rare and exceptional theoretical work.
