George L. Henderson

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the relationship between capital and nature in the late nineteenth-century countryside and the literature of rural realism, and present a survey of the history of rural realism in the United States.

TL;DR: For example, the authors pointed out that the wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as an ‘immense accumulation of commodities, its unit being a single commodity. Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a commodity.

TL;DR: This article argued that what has been construed as a primary obstacle (the disunity of working and production time and the cumulative effects thereof) has been poorly appreciated as comprising a distinctive opportunity for capitalist investments and appropriations through the credit system.

Abstract: George Henderson’s book Value in Marx is an object of beauty both inside and out. Its cover of differently coloured interwoven strands of a lattice exquisitely captures the multiple strands of thoughts on value contained in Marx’s writings, that is, “value as noncoalescing theory” (137) as George refers to it. The lucidity of the prose; the arresting and often very playful address the author pitches us—emulating that 19 century habit, dear reader, that Marx used to such good effect; the shear boldness to attempt a re-reading of well-thumbed texts to squeeze out more meaning, all adds up to a shining example of what close textual analysis and a creative spirit can achieve. Value in Marx is a beautiful object indeed, but also a daunting one.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the politics of geographic thought and argue that it is always political, and that the goal of human geography is to make progress in human geography, not to regress to the place of good fortune.
