The Marxian but not Marxist Influence of Albion W. Small’s View of Capitalism: What Matters?
This paper sheds light on the neglected views of Albion W. Small, the founder of the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago in 1892.

Small, le fondateur en 1892 du département de sociologie de l'Université de Chicago. Small a développé ses recherches durant l'ère progressiste américaine et avait une formation en économie politique. On comprend alors sans doute pourquoi il s’est intéressé avec force et rigueur aux idées de Marx. Pour autant, comme l’explique cet article, Small peut être affilié dans une certaine mesure à des auteurs marxiens mais pas marxistes. En proposant une étude historique de l’analyse que fait Small des pensées de Marx, cette contribution académique met tout particulièrement l’accent sur les questions fondamentales – et complémentaires – de l'émergence du surprofit au travail et de la dynamique du capitalisme. Dans cette perspective, Small a montré le rôle de la coopération productive entre les capitalistes et les travailleurs. Pour ces raisons, les idées de Small résonnent encore aujourd'hui, à l’heure de la réforme de l’entreprise. |
