The Section on the Myths of Capitalism, would anyone in here recommend it for a Marxist?
Is it purely from the standpoint of the Anarchist position? It seems more like a dismantling of the philosophical assumptions of the libertarian ideaology than anything else. Not really political economy.
Any thoughts?

One would assume a Marxist to already have read Marx a fair bit, in which case it would be a waste of time.

I thought the section was brilliant but then of course I read Marx and Marxist political economists. Now I read it again and it reads like liberal and progressive arguments against the assumptions of libertarianism.
I was just wondering if any Marxists in here recommend it to people?

It uses a fair amount of Marxist inspired economics it seems (the notion of exploitation being based on surplus value), but also uses post-Keynesianism to refute neoclassical and Austrian theory.
