Economic Calculations and Policy Formation (Routledge Revivals)Author(s): Grahame Thompson\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138829640, 978-1138829640\nSynopsis\nThese essays develop a Marxist response to and approach to aspects of the recent economic past in the United Kingdom. They reflect issues and controversies that have arisen within economic policy debate and the economic theory associated with the debate, highlighting the problematic nature of economic policy in the period since the mid-1970s. The book, first published in 1986, develops a line of argument organized around issues of calculation, thus challenging the orthodox Marxist framework and presenting a neo-Marxist analysis.
