<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>The single most important work in English to build on the theory of Japanese economist Kōzō Uno</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Volume 2 of <em>The Dialectics of Capital</em></p><p>This is the first book written in English to build upon the important and underappreciated work of Japanese economist Kōzō Uno (1897-1977) and his efforts to expose the thing-in-itself (or inner logic) of capitalism. Following the form of argument first elaborated in Hegel's <em>Logic</em>, Sekine shows that neither bourgeois-liberal nor even conventionally-Marxist economics possess a logical (and thus objective) knowledge of capitalism as such, and therefore fail to understand some of its fundamental aspects.</p><p>Originally completed in typescript and privately published at York University, Canada, in 1983, <em>The Dialectics of Capital's</em> influence was profound despite its very small first run. As contemporary capitalism stumbles from crisis to crisis, this book can serve as a dependable guide for those aiming to correctly terminate a system that has long since outgrown its usefulness.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Thomas T. Sekine</strong> was Professor of Economics at York University, Ontario, Canada, 1968-1994, and Professor of International Trade, Graduate Faculty of Commerce, Aichi-Gakuin University, Nagoya, Japan, 1994-2005. He is the author of many works in English and Japanese including <em>An Outline of the Dialectic of Capital</em>, 2 vols.; <em>Towards a Critique of Bourgeois Economics, Essays of Thomas T. Sekine</em>; and <em>Towards a Paradigm Change in Economics</em> (in Japanese). In addition to his own work in economic theory, methodology of economics, and international trade, Sekine is also the translator from Japanese into English of two of Kōzō Uno's books. </p>
