fundamentals of political economy

Some schools of thought consider economics a toolbox for solving multiple needs with scarce resources. Others, in contrast, adopt the category of political economy as a key to articulating theory and concepts with the analysis of historical processes and social subjects. This is precisely the path Eduardo Basualdo follows in this book, in which he takes the concept of "capital accumulation pattern" as a central category for social research in general, and broadens its scope to include issues related to the State, power, hegemony, and social struggles in his analysis.
