Marx’s Method

Abstract

The article is a previously unpublished text written by the prominent Russian economist L. N. Litoshenko (1886-1943) and devoted to the interpretation of K. Marx’s economic theory. Litoshenko claims that the system of economic science developed by Marx is missing logical structure and cannot be proven in its entirety. This view is supported by the fact that in Marx’s "Capital" we find internal inconsistency, ambiguous and inexact pieces of argument. The article considers the main peculiarities of Marxian theory and method. The author criticizes apologetic approaches to the appraisal of Marx’s contribution to economic theory and finds insufficient both "nave-realistic" and "socially objective" perception of Marx’s ideas. By analyzing a huge amount of sources Litoshenko argues that if we try to approach economic life objectively, we will certainly find it difficult to regard Marx’s method as means of cognition (and change) of economic (market) reality.
