"What determines the rate of growth, the distribution of income, and the structure of relative prices under capitalism? What, in short, makes capitalist economies tick? Marglin's book answers answers these questions through a unique comparison of three major theoretical traditions: neoclassical, neo-Marxian, and neo-Keynesian. This book also presents the author's own model of capitalist economies, which synthesizes the best insights of these traditions." - from back cover
