“…For example, one hour of productivity labour can correspond to two or three hours of social necessary labour, and only the latter counts as exchange value (Tomba 2009). The issue that Marx failed to consider at the time of the Grundrisse is the transfer [Übertragung] (Marx 1998: 205) of surplus-value from different spheres and, in a wider sense, countries (Dussel 1990;Dussel 2001: 213-4;Marini 1991: 8-10). Only in the 1860s, when making allowance for the competition of capitals in the world market, Marx considers 'every individual capital … as a part of the total capital, and every capitalist actually as a shareholder in the total social enterprise, each sharing in the total profit pro rata to the magnitude of his share of capital' (Marx 1998: 207).…”

This article investigates the way in which Marx combines different historiographical approaches in order to draft the possibility for both new forms of social relationship and a new anthropology. The classic unilinear and historicist paradigm and its idea of pre-modern, pre-capitalist and pre-political social forms does not help in understanding the interaction of different temporalities and the combination of formal and real subsumptions. The representation of ongoing accumulation requires different temporalities, which conflict and intertwine with one another.

“…They give us insight into the class dimensions of EUE. These reformulations accordingly provide us with better-ground theoretical lenses to offer insight into dynamics of internal colonialism, gendered social reproduction, and the need for “liberation from dependency…national domination…and liberation of the oppressed people in the nation” (Dussel & Yanez, 1990, p. 95, italics in original). They furthermore allow us to reconsider social struggles mapped by the extractivism literature, without abandoning sovereign industrialization, which is frequently suggested, but less often stated outright, in a wide range of political ecology concerned with a diffuse “extraction.” EUE furthermore helps us see how such price suppression and damage to nature relate to social struggles resisting local damage to the ecology—the environmentalism of the poor.…”

This article engages with and critiques dominant theories of political ecology. It takes the theory of ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) as the framework of critique. It assesses the claims of “fossil capitalism,” eco-modernism, extractivism, and degrowth, as well as the theories of “post-development.” It finds that with the exception of degrowth, none of them take imperialism or the global history of accumulation sufficiently seriously, and either displace transformative obligations wholly onto the South or adopt a framework which centers merely the agency of the Northern working class or a class-blind movement of movements. Instead, it proposes modifications of EUE based on the polarized nature of accumulation and waste production and distribution, and neocolonialism. It uses that framework to identify the antisystemic role of nature-reliant peripheral semi-proletarian classes, and from there reopens the debate on appropriate-scale industrialization along with ecological transformations of agriculture as paths to development in the twenty-first century.

“…The failure of world-systems theory to overcome this model is the reason why, despite its crucial contribution to understanding global inter-connectedness, it did not elaborate a proper theory of the capitalist world-system (Dussel and Yanez, 1990: 69). In a way that is only apparently paradoxical, an autocentric framework informs both ‘internalist’ and ‘externalist’ interpretations of the origins of capitalism (Hilton, 1976; see Bhambra, 2007a: 142).…”

This article interrogates Marx's critique of political economy in the context of the global South and southern epistemologies. It first traces the contradictory roots of a non-Eurocentric conception of history within Adam Smith. Recovering Marx's silenced sociologies of colonialism in his writings and notebooks, it then shows that Marx incorporated colonialism and imperialism into his analysis of accumulation. The antagonism between wage-labour and capital needs to be understood as a global tendency, encompassing a hierarchy of forms of exploitation and oppression. Marx's support for the Taiping revolution (1850-1864) played a crucial, albeit often ignored, role in his theorisation. It allowed him to recognise the living potential for anti-colonial struggles and international solidarities, thus breaking with Eurocentric accounts of history. The article concludes that it is crucial to sociology's global futures that it reconnects with the critique of political economy, and actively learns from the anti-imperialist South.
