A new English translation of Isaak Illich Rubin’s classic Essays on Marx’s Theory of Value. First published in the Soviet Union in 1923, Rubin’s book sparked a fierce value controversy with contemporary Soviet economists during the late 1920s. As such, the present translation is conceived as a variorum edition, including all the essential supplementary materials related to this foundational work in Marx’s value theory, published here in English for the first time. In addition to Rubin’s main work, this edition includes his four most important related publications, as well as ten debate articles written and published by his contemporary proponents and opponents.

"Conversations about higher education teem with accusations that American colleges and universities are betraying free speech, indoctrinating students with left-wing dogma, and censoring civil discussions. But these complaints are badly misguided. In Terms of Respect, constitutional scholar and Princeton University president Christopher L. Eisgruber argues that colleges and universities are largely getting free speech right. Today's students engage in vigorous discussions on sensitive topics and embrace both the opportunity to learn and the right to protest. Like past generations, they value free speech, but, like all of us, they sometimes misunderstand what it requires. Ultimately, the polarization and turmoil visible on many campuses reflect an American civic crisis that affects universities along with the rest of society. But colleges, Eisgruber argues, can help to promote civil discussion in this raucous, angry world-and they can show us how to embrace free speech without sacrificing ideals of equality, diversity, and respect. Urgent and original, Terms of Respect is an ardent defense of our universities, and a hopeful vision for navigating the challenges that free speech provokes for us all"-- Provided by publisher.

Robert Manne has twice been voted Australia's leading public intellectual. This book will show you why. Making Trouble takes aim at the new Australian complacency. This is a book that will enlighten and challenge, as it traces the ideas and events that have recently changed the nation. It covers much ground - from Howard to Gillard by way of Rudd, from Victoria's bushfires to the Apology, from Wilfred Burchett to Julian Assange. Making Trouble also includes an exchange of letters with Tony Abbott, critical appraisals of the 'insider' Paul Kelly and the 'outsider' Mark Latham, an insightful discussion of the political and moral issues surrounding climate change, appreciations of W.E.H. Stanner and Primo Levi, a reflection on ways of remembering the Holocaust, and incisive and original essays about the question of reconciliation and the treatment of asylum seekers. As this eloquent and important book shows, no one in Australia makes a better argument than Robert Manne.

The Red Pencil (1989) examines the many ways in which Soviet censorship interfered in the creative process - in the words of those who experienced it first hand. It helps to identify the ways in which Soviet artistic and intellectual production was shaped by the practices of Soviet censorship. The book goes beyond the simple recounting of banned books and taboo subjects to examine the more subtle issue of how Soviet writers attempted to strike a balance between accommodating the demands of government censorship while retaining for themselves a modicum of unfettered expression and intellectual integrity. Most of the contributing authors were active as writers, critics, editors, film and theatre specialists, or scientists prior to their departure from the Soviet Union in the 1970s.

This book is based on four live talks given by Dr. Marc Gafni on the weekly One Mountain, Many Path podcast in the first weeks of the Russian-Ukrainian war. They are complemented with an essay by Dr. Elena Maslova-Levin to provide a deeper insight into Russia's motivations and the history of relationships between Ukraine and Russia, which made this war impossible and unavoidable at the same time.Dr. Marc Gafni's analysis of this fateful moment is profound, multidimensional, and meaningful. Rather than being lost in the overwhelming emotions of the moment, or caught up in the seemingly rational confabulations of purely political analysis, it is rooted in a deep, unshakeable connection to intrinsic values of reality. What's more, he sees not only the tragedy, but also the incredible evolutionary potential of this moment - in his words, the moment of "this great arousal, this stunning coming together, of the postmodern West." The path forward he is showing is not just about the immediate needs of the moment - but about our collective future, and what we need to do (and, no less importantly, understand) for this future even to be possible.The guiding question of this book is: how do we respond? Although a lot has changed since the first weeks of the war, and a lot has changed, this book is no less relevant now (and in the foreseeable future) than Marc's talks were back then, in March 2022.

Heroic Defeats is a comparative investigation of how unions and firms interact when economic circumstances require substantial job loss. Using simple game theory to generate testable propositions about when these situations will result in industrial conflict, Professor Golden illustrates the theory in a range of situations between 1950 and 1985 in Japan, Italy, and Britain. Additionally, the author shows how the theory explains why strikes over job loss almost never occur in postwar unionized firms in the United States.

Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) war eine einflussreiche Vertreterin der europäischen Arbeiterbewegung, des Marxismus, Antimilitarismus und "proletarischen Internationalismus". Aus dem Buch: "Die Nationalökonomie ist eine merkwürdige Wissenschaft. Die Schwierigkeit und der Streit der Meinungen beginnt schon bei dem ersten Schritt, den man auf ihr Gebiet tut, schon bei der allerelementarsten Frage: Was ist der eigentliche Gegenstand dieser Wissenschaft. Der einfache Arbeiter, der nur eine ganz vage Vorstellung davon hat, was die Nationalökonomie lehrt, wird seine Unklarheit der eigenen mangelhaften allgemeinen Bildung zuschreiben. Doch teilt er sein Mißgeschick diesmal in gewissem Sinne mit vielen gelehrten Doktoren und Professoren, die über die Nationalökonomie dickbändige Werke schreiben und Vorlesungen für die studierende Jugend an den Universitäten halten. So unglaubwürdig es klingt, so ist es doch Tatsache, daß die meisten Fachgelehrten der Nationalökonomie einen sehr verschwommenen Begriff davon haben, was der wirkliche Gegenstand ihrer Gelehrsamkeit ist."
