Capitalism

Viewed through the lens of 

analytical philosophy

Marx read Ricardo and Smith.

analytic philosophers have reinterpreted Marxism to provide a radical critique of capitalist society.

…

Over the course of the last century, a tradition of Marxist theory, analytic Marxism, developed that ran parallel to the dogmatic thinking still prevalent among sections of the Left. It attempted to grapple with the complexities of capitalist social relations armed, like Marx himself, with the most sophisticated conceptual tools available, be they from bourgeois economics or philosophy. Despite claims to the contrary, its insights remain indispensable to anyone attempting understand what’s wrong with capitalism and to chart a path toward a more just society.

But

 It polemicizes against “dogmatic Marxists” in the abstract, and does not really take up debates that are actually happening. A major problem with the article is what is MISSING:
No discussion of ecological Marxism (represented best by the magazine Monthly Review)
NO discussion of imperialism: the US is more than just a capitalist country, it is the (still) hegemonic imperialist power in the world. Along with this, no discussion of the military industrial complex
NO discussion of MONOPOLY capitalism or financialization, or the de-industrialization of the US
NO discussion of the experience of “actually existing” socialist countries
