Michael R. Krätke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael R. Krätke (born 1950) was professor for political economy at Lancaster University, and editor of the German scholarly journal spw – Zeitschrift für sozialistische Politik und Wirtschaft [de].

Krätke has been working on the history of Marxism since the 1990s[1] Among other things, he has developed a periodization of Marxist intellectual history and identified four stages: (1) from 1842 until Marx’ death in 1883, (2) "classical marxism" from 1883 until World War I, (3) the third stage from the Russian Revolution into the 1960s, (4) the last stage of a social-scientific Marxism following the Marx-Renaissance of the 1960s. He is a member of the scientific advisory council to the German chapter of ATTAC.[2]
