This volume investigates the validity and implications of the Power Theory of Value, which posits that capital is fundamentally a manifestation of power rather than a productive economic asset. Edited by Tim Di Muzio, the collection gathers diverse scholarly perspectives to challenge the traditional neoclassical and Marxist interpretations of capital. The contributors analyze the assertion that capital is exclusively finance, utilizing this framework to re-examine the mechanics of accumulation and social control in contemporary global markets.

Experts recognize this volume as a primary resource for those engaging with heterodox economic theories. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for advanced students and researchers in political economy.
