Corentin Debailleul, Jacques Wajnsztejn — 2016-03-26T13:25:50Z

There are many similarities between the theses of Nitzan and Bichler and those of Temps Critiques so we deemed it appropriate to examine their book further. First of all a critique of the law of value… This is quite logical since they too rely on Castoriadis during his 1960-1965 period
