Free to Lose: An Introduction to Marxist Economic Philosophy

John E. Roemer

@brian_callaci @ThomasHerndon1 This actually sounds a bit more like John Roemer to me (from A General Theory of Exploitation and Class or his book Free to Lose). He attempts to show how Marxian exploitation and class arises from neoclassical assumptions (no ltv).

@RationalSophist @RomanianLiberal @legomaniac856 Yeah Cohen on Nozick is pretty incredible. Highly recommend Self Ownership, Freedom, and Equality if you want that kind of stuff. But if you want an analytic treatment of Marxist-y stuff, hard to go wrong with Karl Marxโ€™s Theory of History: A Defense by him
