Contradictions of Capitalism

1987
Writers in the Marxist tradition frequently make use of the term ‘contradiction of capitalism’.

In Contradiction

1987
Abstract This book advocates and defends the view that there are true contradictions (dialetheism), a view that has flown in the face of orthodoxy in Western philosophy since Aristotle's time.
