Abstract
This essay is a polemic with Peter Hudis’s paper Yes, There Is
An Alternative – And It Can Be Found in Marx in the context
of his broader conception (Marx’s Concept of the Alternative
to Capitalism (Brill 2013)). The author analyses the mentioned
proposition and its ability to answer to the following questions
– the “classical” one (Did Marx develop an alternative to capitalism?)
and the “contemporary” one (Did Marx develop
an alternative to capitalism, which matters for us?). According
to the author orders constituted by both of these questions
are disturbingly melted in Hudis work.
