Analytical Marxism
Karl Marx's Theory of History: a defense. Critical Notice of G. A. Cohen's book.
Jerry Cohen's first major book defending Marx's Historical Materialism. I add an anecdote about Jerry (as he liked to be denoted) - I spoke with him as a friend shortly before his death. He had, it seemed, 'lost faith' in the idea of Capitalism's basic crises. This was during the US banking and financial scandal leading uo to the present very serious Europe-centred crisis.The unrestrained greed of the big banks in the years leading up to the 2008 implosion helped to wreck the American — and global — economy. Their business model: privatizing profit and socializing loss.

I also add an important quote: "Capital is moved as much and as little by the degradation and final depopulation of the human race, as by the probable fall of the earth into the sun. Apres moi le deluge! is the watchword of every capitalist and of every capitalist nation" (Marx, CAPITAL Vol 1, 380-381).
