چکیده
Over the past fifteen years Marxist theoreticians have devoted considerable attention to reconceptualizing the place of "class" in the overall Marxist theory of society and social change. In this paper the author situates class structure within a broader context of class analysis. He defines the concept of "the political," both as it bears on the problem of the political aspect of practices and of social relations. He then turns to John Roemer's analysis of exploitation and class. The paper ends with a brief discussion of some of the implications of viewing class as an intrinsically political concept.
