Marx, Marginalism and Modern Sociology offers an original interpretation of Marx''s critique of political economy as the basis of a critique of modern economics and sociology. The core of the book is an account of Marx''s theory of alienated labour as the basis of Marx''s work as a whole. The critical implications of this theory are developed through an analysis of the historical development of liberal social theory from political economy to the modern disciplines of economics and sociology.
