Abstract

In this text I analyze Fred Moseley’s newest book Money and Totality, which tackles the infamous transformation problem. Moseley not only tries to show that Marx’s theory is quantitatively valid and that the transformation problem is in fact a pseudo-problem, but also situates it in a broader (macro-monetary) context of Marx’s whole theoretical endeavor.
