This ambitious book presents a comprehensive new 'macro-monetary' interpretation of Marx s logical method in Capital, based on substantial textual evidence, which emphasises two main points: Marx s theory is primarily a macroeconomic theory of the total surplus-value produced in the economy as a whole; and Marx s theory is a monetary theory from beginning to end and the circuit of money capital M - C - M is the logical framework of Marx s theory. It follows from this 'macro-monetary' interpretation that, contrary to the prevailing view, there is no 'transformation problem' in Marx s theory; i.e., Marx did not 'fail to transform the inputs of constant capital and variable capital' in his theory of prices of production in Part 2 of Volume III."

Money and Totality: A Macro-Monetary Interpretation of Marx's Logic in Capital and the End of the 'Transformation Problem'
This ambitious book presents a comprehensive new 'macro-monetary' interpretation of Marx s logical method in Capital, based on substantial textual evidence, which emphasises two main points: Marx s theory is primarily a macroeconomic theory of the total surplus-value produced in the economy as a whole; and Marx s theory is a monetary theory from beginning to end and the circuit of money capital M - C - M is the logical framework of Marx s theory. It follows from this 'macro-monetary' interpretation that, contrary to the prevailing view, there is no 'transformation problem' in Marx s theory; i.e., Marx did not 'fail to transform the inputs of constant capital and variable capital' in his theory of prices of production in Part 2 of Volume III."
