Howard J. Sherman is professor of economics at the University of California, Riverside. His many books include The Business Cycle: Growth and Crisis in Capitalism, and Foundations of Radical Political Economy.

Sherman presents a clear and compelling account of what he calls 'critical Marxism.' He draws on the work of many practicing Marxist social scientists and philosophers, mainly from the US and UK, adding his own twists and interpretations... In addition to finding a place among Marxist social scientists, this clearly-written book will be useful for those seeking an introduction to modern Marxism and as a text to assign in courses that touch upon Marxist analysis in the social sciences. -- David M.
