This edited volume is focused on Hilferdings major work, Finance Capital. In revisiting this influential book from a methodological point of view, both historical and intellectual, this book affirms Hilferdings place in the Marxist tradition.

In doing so, this book highlights the importance of Hilferdings work in analysing and understanding modern capitalism and corporate developments. The volume has contributions from a range of expert scholars addressing various aspects of Hilferding arguments. It elaborates on Hilferding central idea on the political economy, as well as its historical context, and its relation to Marx. Contributors move on to criticize Hilferding views on the political economy and politics in general. This book is relevant to those interested in the political economy, the history of economic thought, and European politics.
