Abstract
buy this issueThe two lead articles in this issue of Monthly Review are both outgrowths of important new books published by Monthly Review Press. Samir Amin's article, "The Trajectory of Historical Capitalism and Marxism's Tricontinental Vocation," is based on recent developments in his theoretical outlook presented in The Law of Worldwide Value…. A substantially revised and extended version of his earlier work, The Law of Value and Historical Materialism (Monthly Review Press, 1978), The Law of Worldwide Value also incorporates new conceptual breakthroughs, making it a major advance in itself.… The article by Richard York and Brett Clark entitled "Stephen Jay Gould's Critique of Progress" is taken from their book The Science and Humanism of Stephen Jay Gould…. Gould's far-ranging work in natural history, biology, and paleontology—even extending to the humanities and the social sciences—has fascinated countless readers, but the complexity of his thought and the extent of his intellectual commitments have defied previous attempts to bring out the unity of his work.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
