Testing Marx: Some new results from UK data

In: Capital & class, Band 19, Heft 1, S. 103-130

Abstract

Analysing UK economic data over an extended historical timespan, from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries, the authors use 'quantitative' or 'empirical' Marxist techniques to test key Marxian theses and categories. They argue that Marxian economics has nothing to fear from a confrontation with empirical data.
