Currently there are only a small number of books and articles from the perspective of a critique of value published in English. The work of Moishe Postone, an American professor, is available to English readers. However, the writing of German-language authors, such as Robert Kurz and Roswitha Schultz, has not been translated extensively. A number of critique-of-value texts are also available online in a variety of languages: www.exitonline.org, www.krisis.org, www.streifzuege.org. See also Marxism and the Critique of Value, ed. Neil Larsen et al (Chicago: MCM’, 2014), available as a free PDF at www.mcmprime.com.
