What does it mean to follow Marx? In this examination of Marx’s methodology combined with specific applications on topics in political economy such as neo-Ricardian theory, analytical Marxism, the falling rate of profit, crisis-theory, monopoly-capital, advertising, and the capitalist state, this volume argues that the failure to understand (or the explicit rejection of) Marx’s method has led astray many who consider themselves Marxists.

Reviews"Michael Lebowitz has proven himself time and again to be one of the most inventive of contemporary Marxist writers. This collection, Following Marx, shows him at his full power as theorist, analyst, and polemicist. Marxian political economy is all the better for it today. Orthodox in his approach, but always interesting and unexpected in his conclusions."—Gregory Albo, York University Department of Political Science
