Critical political economy: the ‘market-centric’ model of economic theory must remain in the past—notes of the Post-Soviet School of Critical Marxism
批判经济理论中“以市场为中心”的模式，提出需要重新定义古典政治经济学和马克思主义方法，以理解21世纪经济，并探讨后市场经济关系的本质。
(Translated by Renfrey Clarke) It is argued that a critical redefinition both of classical political economy and of the Marxist approach is required to understand the economy of the twenty-first century. There is also a need to respond to (neo)positivist and post-modernist approaches. The paper offers a critique of the ‘market-centric’ model of economic theory and articulates a theory about the nature of post-market economic relations. It is hypothesised that theoretical innovations are required for an adequate investigation of the new world of creative work and of knowledge-based society. These innovations are, in particular, political economic theory of total corporate-network market and new proofs of the antagonism between market and creativity
