Introduction to the Special Issue The Political Economy of Agrarian Change: Essays in Appreciation of Henry Bernstein
This special issue presents five essays and an interview in appreciation of Henry Bernstein.
The essays – by major scholars in the field of agrarian political economy – engage with
different aspects of Bernstein’s oeuvre: from direct critical reflections on his approach to
the peasantry and the agrarian question through to arguments developed in connection to
his work on commercial capitalism, landed property and the relationship between petty
production and accumulation. This introduction briefly sets out some of the major aspects
of Bernstein’s distinctive editorial, pedagogical and theoretical contributions. It suggests that
his most crucial and lasting contribution is in his absorption and ability to apply Marx’s
theory and method as a living theoretical and analytical approach to the study of agrarian
political economy.
Keywords: peasant studies, agrarian political economy, Marxism
